Question 5
Find three rational numbers between 3.1415 and 3.1416.
We can find rational numbers by adding more digits to the smaller number.
Step 1 — Find the first rational number
We are given two numbers, 3.1415 and 3.1416. We need a number between them. Let's take the first number 3.1415. We can add a digit after its last digit. Let's add 1 to make it longer.
Step 2 — Find the second rational number
We can find another number using the same method. Let's take 3.1415 again. We will add a different digit this time. Let's add 2 to the end.
Step 3 — Find the third rational number
We need one more rational number. Let's use 3.1415 one last time. We will add another digit to its end. Let's add 3 this time.
Answer
(i) 3.14151 (ii) 3.14152 (iii) 3.14153
