Answer: Rational numbers are referred to as numbers which can be expressed in their fraction of two integers. Rational numbers are written as positive, negative, zero and prime numbers. To find the set of rational numbers, the criteria is to represents the two numbers in their rational form. considering the example of expressing rational numbers:
a/b where b is not equal to zero.
Hence to find the rational numbers between 1 and 2, we need to express them in their rational form:
The rational forms are
1= 1X10/10= 10/10
2= 2X10/10= 20/10
Hence, considering the rational form 10/10 and 20/10, the five rational numbers between numbers 1 and 2 are 11/10, 12/10,13/10,14/10,15/10.
