The correct Answer is:
To find five rational numbers between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the fractions to have a common denominator First, we need to find a common denominator for \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \). - The denominators are 5 and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 3 is 15. Now, we convert both fractions: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} \] \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{10}{15} \] ### Step 2: Identify the range between the two fractions Now we have: \[ \frac{9}{15} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{10}{15} \] We need to find five rational numbers between \( \frac{9}{15} \) and \( \frac{10}{15} \). ### Step 3: Increase the denominator to find more rational numbers To find five rational numbers, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \( \frac{9}{15} \) and \( \frac{10}{15} \) by a number. Here, we will multiply by 6 (since we need 5 numbers, we do \( 5 + 1 = 6 \)). \[ \frac{9}{15} = \frac{9 \times 6}{15 \times 6} = \frac{54}{90} \] \[ \frac{10}{15} = \frac{10 \times 6}{15 \times 6} = \frac{60}{90} \] ### Step 4: List the rational numbers between the two fractions Now we can find rational numbers between \( \frac{54}{90} \) and \( \frac{60}{90} \): The rational numbers are: - \( \frac{55}{90} \) - \( \frac{56}{90} \) - \( \frac{57}{90} \) - \( \frac{58}{90} \) - \( \frac{59}{90} \) ### Step 5: Simplify the rational numbers (if needed) Now we can simplify these fractions: 1. \( \frac{55}{90} \) can be simplified by dividing both by 5: \[ \frac{55 \div 5}{90 \div 5} = \frac{11}{18} \] 2. \( \frac{56}{90} \) can be simplified by dividing both by 2: \[ \frac{56 \div 2}{90 \div 2} = \frac{28}{45} \] 3. \( \frac{57}{90} \) cannot be simplified further. 4. \( \frac{58}{90} \) can be simplified by dividing both by 2: \[ \frac{58 \div 2}{90 \div 2} = \frac{29}{45} \] 5. \( \frac{59}{90} \) cannot be simplified further. ### Final Answer The five rational numbers between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \) are: - \( \frac{11}{18} \) - \( \frac{28}{45} \) - \( \frac{57}{90} \) - \( \frac{29}{45} \) - \( \frac{59}{90} \)
