Answer:

Between all these pairs of numbers,a rational number can be found in all the 3 pairs

Explanation:

PAIR1: -10 and -9

Rational numbers are: -10.5,-10.6,-10.1,etc (there are way more)

PAIR2: 5.91 and 5.92

Rational numbers:- 5.915,5.916,etc(there are way more)

PAIR3:2/3 and 4/5

LCM= 15

2/3=10/15

4/5=12/15 between these two (10/15 & 12/15)

Rational numbers: 11/15, 11.5/15(because it's result would be a recurring/repeating decimal),etc
