The correct Answer is:
To find 5 rational numbers between \(-\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{5}{21}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the LCM of the denominators. The denominators are 6 and 21. We need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of these two numbers. - The prime factorization of 6 is \(2 \times 3\). - The prime factorization of 21 is \(3 \times 7\). The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime factor: - LCM = \(2^1 \times 3^1 \times 7^1 = 42\). ### Step 2: Convert both fractions to have the same denominator. Now we convert \(-\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{5}{21}\) to have a denominator of 42. 1. For \(-\frac{1}{6}\): \[ -\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{1 \times 7}{6 \times 7} = -\frac{7}{42} \] 2. For \(\frac{5}{21}\): \[ \frac{5}{21} = \frac{5 \times 2}{21 \times 2} = \frac{10}{42} \] ### Step 3: Identify the range of rational numbers. Now we have the two fractions: - \(-\frac{7}{42}\) and \(\frac{10}{42}\). ### Step 4: Find 5 rational numbers between \(-\frac{7}{42}\) and \(\frac{10}{42}\). We can choose any rational numbers between these two fractions. Here are five examples: 1. \(-\frac{6}{42}\) 2. \(-\frac{5}{42}\) 3. \(-\frac{4}{42}\) 4. \(-\frac{3}{42}\) 5. \(-\frac{2}{42}\) ### Final Answer: The 5 rational numbers between \(-\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{5}{21}\) are: \(-\frac{6}{42}, -\frac{5}{42}, -\frac{4}{42}, -\frac{3}{42}, -\frac{2}{42}\). ---
