Question

Insert two rational numbers between the following rational numbers:

`-1/3` and `-1/4`

Answer 1

Let’s find two rational numbers between `-1/3` and `-1/4`.

Step 1: Express both with a common denominator

`-1/3 = -8/24`,

`-1/4 = -6/24`

So, we are looking for numbers between `-8/24` and `-6/24`.

Step 2: Choose two rational numbers between them

Two possible numbers between `-8/24` and `-6/24` are `-7/24` and `-5/16`.

Both lie between `-1/3` and `-1/4`.

`-5/16, -7/24`
