5/10 lies between 1/2 and 1. Is the given statement true or false

Solution:

Given 5/10 = 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/2 = 0.5

On the number line, 0.5 doesn't lie between 0.5 and 1 but it is the edge number.

The equivalent fraction of ½ with the denominator 10 is 5/10 and the equivalent fraction of 1 with the denominator 10 is 10/10. Clearly, 5/10 is the edge rational number and does not lie between 1/2 and 1.

Hence, the statement is false.

✦ Try This: 2/8 lies between 1/2 and 0

2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25, 1/2 = 0.5

From the numberline, 0 comes first, then 0.25 and then 0.5.

Hence, 2/8 lies between 0 and 1/2. The statement is true.
