Find a rational number between 1/4 and 1/2.a)2b)1/2c)3/8d)0Correct ans...
A rational number between a and b is (a + b)/2
clearly it is there half so it will be between them
where a and b are numbers
a = 1/4, b = 1/2
Therefore, rational no. between 1/4 and 1/2 is
= (1/4 + 1/2)/2
= [(1 + 2)/4]/2
= 3/8

Solution:
To find a rational number between 1/4 and 1/2, we can take the average of these two numbers.
Step 1: Find the average of 1/4 and 1/2
(1/4 + 1/2)/2
= (1/4 + 2/4)/2
= 3/8
Step 2: Check if 3/8 is between 1/4 and 1/2
1/4 < 3/8="" />< />
Therefore, the rational number between 1/4 and 1/2 is 3/8, which is option 'C'.

Let 1/4 be x and 1/2 be y Then, by using the formula 1/2(x+y), we get : = 1/2(1/4 + 1/2) = 1/2(1/4 + 2/4) = 1/2 × 3/4 = 3/8 Therefore, 3/8 is the rational number between 1/4 and 1/2
