Give an example of a rational number between 1.5 and 1.75
Ok.. I SERIOUSLY need help with this problem.
the reason why it could be on point six is because any number that can be displayed by a fraction is rational,so in the case of 1.6 the fraction would be 1 and 6 tenths...
Make sense?
To find a rational number between 1.5 and 1.75, we can start by converting these decimal numbers into fractions.
First, let's convert 1.5 into a fraction:
Since 1.5 can be written as a mixed number, it is equivalent to 1 and 1/2.
Next, let's convert 1.75 into a fraction:
Since 1.75 can be written as 1 and 3/4.
Now that we have the fractions, we can find a rational number between them by finding a fraction that lies between corresponding numerator and denominator values.
For example, the fraction 1 and 1/2 can be written as 3/2. And the fraction 1 and 3/4 can be written as 7/4.
We can find a rational number between them by taking the average of the two fractions:
(3/2 + 7/4) / 2 = (6/4 + 7/4) / 2 = 13/8.
Therefore, the rational number between 1.5 and 1.75 is 13/8.
