Insert 3 equivalent rational numbers between -1/2 and 1/5.

Solution:

A rational number is a number that is of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0.

The given rational numbers are

-1/2 and 1/5

To get a common denominator

LCM of 2 and 5 is 10

So we get

(-1 × 5)/ (2 × 5) = -5/10

(1 × 2)/ (5 × 2) = 2/10

So the 3 rational numbers will be -3/10, -6/20, -9/30

Therefore, the 3 equivalent rational numbers are -3/10, -6/20 and -9/30.
