alleryA rational number lying between 1/4 and 1/2 is:
A1/3
B3/4
C2/3
D1/5
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 1/3
**Rewrite with common denominator 12:** 1/4 = 3/12, 1/2 = 6/12. We need a rational number between 3/12 and 6/12. 1/3 = 4/12 satisfies this.
3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12 both lie outside the interval
1/5 = 2.4/12 lies below it.
