Given:
The two numbers are [tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex].
To find:
The 4 rational numbers between the given numbers.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
First we need to make common denominators. So multiply and divide the first fraction by 3 and second fraction by 2.
[tex]-\dfrac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}=-\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]-\dfrac{1\times 2}{3\times 2}=-\dfrac{2}{6}[/tex]
We need to find 4 rational numbers between the given numbers. So, multiply and divide both fractions by five, (4+1=5).
[tex]-\dfrac{3\times 5}{6\times 5}=-\dfrac{15}{30}[/tex]
[tex]-\dfrac{2\times 5}{6\times 5}=-\dfrac{10}{30}[/tex]
Now, the four numbers between -15 to -10 are -14, -13, -12, -11.
[tex]-15<-14<-13<-12<-11<-10[/tex]
[tex]-\dfrac{15}{30}<-\dfrac{14}{30}<-\dfrac{13}{30}<-\dfrac{12}{30}<-\dfrac{11}{30}<-\dfrac{10}{30}[/tex]
[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}<-\dfrac{14}{30}<-\dfrac{13}{30}<-\dfrac{12}{30}<-\dfrac{11}{30}<-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the 4 rational number between the given numbers are [tex]-\dfrac{14}{30},\ -\dfrac{13}{30},\ -\dfrac{12}{30}\ -\dfrac{11}{30}[/tex].
