Question:
Find three rational numbers between 4 and 5.
Solution:
Rational number between 4 and 5 :
$\frac{1}{2}(4+5)$
$=\frac{9}{2}$
Rational number between 4 and $\frac{9}{2}$ :
$\frac{1}{2}\left(4+\frac{9}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{8+9}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{17}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{17}{4}$
Rational number between $\frac{9}{2}$ and 5 :
$\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{9}{2}+5\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{9+10}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{19}{4}$
We know,
$4<\frac{17}{4}<\frac{9}{2}<\frac{19}{4}<5$
Thus, the three rational numbers are $\frac{17}{4}, \frac{9}{2}$ and $\frac{19}{4}$.
