Which of the following rational number lies between $\dfrac {4}{9}$ and $\dfrac {4}{5}$?

  1. $-1$
  2. $\dfrac {28}{45}$
  3. $0$
  4. $1$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$Mean = \dfrac{\left (\dfrac {4}{9} + \dfrac {4}{5}\right )}{2} = \left (\dfrac {20 + 36}{45}\right ) \times \dfrac {1}{2} = \dfrac {56}{45}\times \dfrac {1}{2}$
$= \dfrac {28}{45}$

Mean of two numbers always lies between the two numbers.
So, answer is option $B.$

What fraction lies exactly halfway between $\dfrac{2}{3}$ and $\dfrac{3}{4}$?

  1. $\dfrac{3}{5}$
  2. $\dfrac{5}{6}$
  3. $\dfrac{7}{12}$
  4. $\dfrac{9}{16}$
  5. $\dfrac{17}{24}$

E Correct answer
Explanation

Consider $3 \times 4 = 12$, so 
$\dfrac 23 = \dfrac{8}{12}$


$\dfrac 34 = \dfrac{9}{12}$

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by $2$:
$\dfrac{16}{24}$ and $\dfrac{18}{24}$.

The mid point is $\dfrac{17}{24}$

Hence option $E$ is correct.

Choose the rational number, which does not lie, between the rational numbers, $\dfrac{-2}{3}$ and $\dfrac{-1}{5}$

  1. $\dfrac{-3}{10}$
  2. $\dfrac{3}{10}$
  3. $\dfrac{-1}{4}$
  4. $\dfrac{-7}{20}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The given rational numbers $-\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 }$ and $-\dfrac { 1 }{ 5 }$ are negative rational numbers because the numerator and denominator of both the rational numbers are of opposite signs that is the numerator of both the integers is negative while the denominators are positive.


Therefore, none of the positive rational number can lie between the given negative rational numbers $-\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 }$ and $-\dfrac { 1 }{ 5 }$.


Hence, $\dfrac { 3 }{ 10 }$ does not lie between the rational numbers $-\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 }$ and $-\dfrac { 1 }{ 5 }$.
