To find five rational numbers between 1 and 2, we can use fractions or decimals that lie within this range. Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction where both the numerator and the denominator are integers.
For example, we can choose fractions with a common denominator. One simple approach is to use a denominator of 10, 100, or any number that allows us to create fractions between 1 and 2. Here are five rational numbers we can consider:
- 1.2
- 1.4
- 1.6
- 1.8
- 1.25
All of these numbers are between 1 and 2, and they can be expressed as fractions:
- 1.2 = 12/10
- 1.4 = 14/10
- 1.6 = 16/10
- 1.8 = 18/10
- 1.25 = 5/4
Thus, we can see that there are numerous rational numbers between 1 and 2, and these five are just a few examples that fit the criteria.
