Question
Find three rational numbers between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$.
✓
Answer
First rational number between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{8+9}{12}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{17}{12}$
$=\frac{17}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}<\frac{17}{24}<\frac{3}{4}$
Second rational number between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{17}{24}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{2}{3}+\frac{17}{24}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{16+17}{24}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{33}{24}$
$=\frac{33}{48}$and third rational number between $\frac{17}{24}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{17}{24}+\frac{3}{4}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{17+18}{24}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{35}{24}$
$=\frac{35}{48}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}<\frac{33}{48}<\frac{17}{24}<\frac{35}{48}<\frac{3}{4}$
$\therefore$ Required three rational numbers $\frac{33}{48},\frac{17}{24},\frac{35}{48}$
