The correct Answer is:
To find 10 rational numbers between \(-\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The denominators of the two fractions are 4 and 6. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12. This will be our common denominator. ### Step 2: Convert the fractions to have the common denominator - Convert \(-\frac{3}{4}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 12: \[ -\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = -\frac{9}{12} \] - Convert \(\frac{5}{6}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 12: \[ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{10}{12} \] ### Step 3: List the rational numbers between \(-\frac{9}{12}\) and \(\frac{10}{12}\) Now that we have the two fractions as \(-\frac{9}{12}\) and \(\frac{10}{12}\), we can find rational numbers between them. The rational numbers will be of the form \(\frac{n}{12}\) where \(n\) is an integer between -9 and 10. The integers between -9 and 10 are: - -8 - -7 - -6 - -5 - -4 - -3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 ### Step 4: Write the rational numbers The 10 rational numbers between \(-\frac{9}{12}\) and \(\frac{10}{12}\) are: 1. \(-\frac{8}{12}\) 2. \(-\frac{7}{12}\) 3. \(-\frac{6}{12}\) 4. \(-\frac{5}{12}\) 5. \(-\frac{4}{12}\) 6. \(-\frac{3}{12}\) 7. \(-\frac{2}{12}\) 8. \(-\frac{1}{12}\) 9. \(0\) (which can be written as \(\frac{0}{12}\)) 10. \(\frac{1}{12}\) ### Final Answer The 10 rational numbers between \(-\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) are: \[ -\frac{8}{12}, -\frac{7}{12}, -\frac{6}{12}, -\frac{5}{12}, -\frac{4}{12}, -\frac{3}{12}, -\frac{2}{12}, -\frac{1}{12}, 0, \frac{1}{12} \]
