Which pair of rational numbers lie between 1/5 and 2/5 -
a. 262/1000, 275/1000
b. 362/1000, 562/1000
c. 451/1000, 552/1000
d. 121/1000,131/1000
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- a. 262/1000, 275/1000 is the answer.
Explanation:
Initial Value = 1/5 and 2/5
So,
(1*200)/(5*200)=200/1000 and (2*200)/(5*200)=400/1000.
So the value lies between 200/1000 and 400/1000.
As per that, the value is 262/1000, 275/1000 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(21) No(18)
- given: 1/5, 2/5 which can be written as 0.2 and 0.4
so answer should be between 0.2 and 0.4
Since given options are with denominator 1000 the values can be directly written as,
a. 0.262, 0.275
b. 0.362, 0.562
c. 0.451, 0.552
d. 0.121, 0.131
So directly it can be said as option 'a' is the answer - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- 1/5=0.2
2/5=0.4
So answer must lie between these two numbers
let's go for option verification
a.)262/1000=2.62
275/1000=2.75 these two lie between them So answer is a - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- -->first find lcm of denominators
lcm(5,5)=5
so no change in the values they stilll remain 1/5 and 2/5
as 0.2 and 0.4 then check out the vallues which lie between them - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans : a.
convert 1/5 and 2/5 as 200/1000 and 400/1000 respectively ..262/1000,275/1000 lies btw them - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
