Find two fractions that are between \(\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\frac{4}{5}\).

Asked by Lynnette01

Answer (3)

We can use common denominators to convert these fractions and find ones between them. Any multiple of 5 can be used, so the first one I chose was 10. You multiply 5 by 2 to make 10, so multiplying the numerator by 2, we get 6/10.
Doing the same thing to the other fraction, we multiply 4 by 2 and get 8/10. A fraction between 6/10 and 8/10 would be 7/10.
Now I will use 20. You multiply 5 by 4 to get 20, so 4*3 in the numerator would give you 12/20.
For the second fraction, 4*4 on the numerator would give us 16/20. One fraction between these two would be 13/20.

To find two fractions that lie between 3/5 and 4/5, we can either find fractions with the same denominator or use equivalent fractions with a common larger denominator. A straightforward way is to increase the numerator of 3/5 step by step until we reach fractions just below 4/5. Let's convert both fractions to have a common denominator of 100:
3/5 = 60/100
4/5 = 80/100
Now we need to find fractions with a numerator between 60 and 80. Two such fractions could be:
65/100, which simplifies to 13/20
75/100, which simplifies to 3/4
Both 13/20 and 3/4 are between 3/5 and 4/5 and serve as suitable examples.
