Final answer:

Three rational numbers between 7/12 and 7/11 are 13/22, 79/132, and 10/33 after converting both fractions to a common denominator of 132 and choosing numbers between them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find three rational numbers between 7/12 and 7/11, we need to create a common denominator and find equivalent fractions that are very close to one another. Let's start by finding a common denominator for 7/12 and 7/11. The smallest common multiple of 12 and 11 is 132, so we'll convert both fractions to have a denominator of 132:

  • 7/12 = 77/132
  • 7/11 = 84/132

Now, we need to pick three numbers between 77/132 and 84/132. Let's choose 78/132, 79/132, and 80/132. These fractions are equivalent to:

  • 78/132 = 13/22
  • 79/132 = 79/132 (There is no further simplification)
  • 80/132 = 10/33

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we need to find three rational numbers between 7/12 and 7/11.

First rational no :


c=((7)/(12)+(7)/(11))/(2)\\\\c=(161)/(264)

Second rational no :


d=((7)/(12)+(161)/(254))/(2)\\\\d=(1855)/(3048)
