Let us take an example on how to do this
Find five rational numbers between 1 and 2.
As we have to find 5 rational numbers, we multiply the numbers by 6/6
1 = 1 × 6/6 = 6/6
2 = 2 × 6/6 = 12/6
Thus, 5 Rational numbers between 1 & 2 (i.e. 6/6 & 12/6 ) are
7/6, 8/6, 9/6, 10/6, 11/6
Note:
Note that 5/4, 11/8, 13/8, 14/8,……… are also rational numbers between 1 and 2
So, there can be infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers .
