Question:
$5 / 10$ lies between $1 / 2$ and 1 .
Solution:
False.
Express each of the given rational numbers with 10 as the common denominator.
Now.
$1 / 2=[(1 \times 5) /(2 \times 5)]=(5 / 10)$
$(1)=[(1 \times 10) /(1 \times 10)]=(10 / 10)$
Then,
$1 / 2$ is equal to $5 / 10$
So, $5 / 6$ does not lies between $1 / 2$ and 1 .
