The correct Answer is:
To find three rational numbers between \( \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \frac{2}{15} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM of the Denominators The denominators of the two fractions are 10 and 15. We need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of these two numbers. - The prime factorization of 10 is \( 2 \times 5 \). - The prime factorization of 15 is \( 3 \times 5 \). - The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor: - From 10: \( 2^1 \) and \( 5^1 \) - From 15: \( 3^1 \) and \( 5^1 \) Thus, the LCM is \( 2^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 30 \). ### Step 2: Convert the Fractions to Have the Same Denominator Now, we will convert both fractions to have the denominator of 30. - For \( \frac{1}{10} \): \[ \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{3}{30} \] - For \( \frac{2}{15} \): \[ \frac{2}{15} = \frac{2 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{4}{30} \] ### Step 3: Identify Rational Numbers Between the Two Converted Fractions Now we have: \[ \frac{3}{30} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{4}{30} \] We need to find three rational numbers between \( \frac{3}{30} \) and \( \frac{4}{30} \). ### Step 4: Choose Rational Numbers We can choose rational numbers by simply taking fractions with the same denominator. The numbers between 3 and 4 are 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. Thus, the rational numbers are: - \( \frac{31}{300} \) (which is \( \frac{3.1 \times 30}{30} \)) - \( \frac{32}{300} \) (which is \( \frac{3.2 \times 30}{30} \)) - \( \frac{33}{300} \) (which is \( \frac{3.3 \times 30}{30} \)) ### Step 5: Final Rational Numbers The three rational numbers we found between \( \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \frac{2}{15} \) are: - \( \frac{31}{300} \) - \( \frac{32}{300} \) - \( \frac{33}{300} \) ### Summary of the Solution The three rational numbers between \( \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \frac{2}{15} \) are: 1. \( \frac{31}{300} \) 2. \( \frac{32}{300} \) 3. \( \frac{33}{300} \)
