The correct Answer is:
To insert one rational number between 3 and 4, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the two numbers**: We are given the numbers 3 and 4. 2. **Find the average of the two numbers**: - The formula for the average of two numbers \( x \) and \( y \) is given by: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{x + y}{2} \] - Here, \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 4 \). 3. **Calculate the average**: - Substitute the values into the formula: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{3 + 4}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] 4. **Convert the result to decimal** (if needed): - \(\frac{7}{2} = 3.5\) 5. **Check if it is a rational number**: - A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\), where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0\). - Here, \( \frac{7}{2} \) meets this criterion since 7 and 2 are integers, and 2 is not equal to 0. ### Conclusion: Thus, one rational number between 3 and 4 is \( \frac{7}{2} \) or 3.5. ---
