Question:
$\frac{5}{6}$ lies between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $1 .$
Solution:
True.
Express each of the given rational numbers with 6 as the common denominator. Now,
$(2 / 3)=[(2 \times 3) /(2 \times 2)]=(4 / 6)$
$(1)=[(1 \times 6) /(1 \times 6)]=(6 / 6)$
Then,
$=4 / 6<5 / 6<6 / 6$
$=2 / 3<5 / 6<1$
So, $5 / 6$ lies between $2 / 3$ and 1 .
