Question
`(-7)/2` lies between –3 and –4.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
First, we convert the given rational numbers with denominator as 2, then we get
`-3 = -3 xx 2/2 = (-6)/2`
`-4 = -4 xx 2/2 = (-8)/2`
∵ `(-8)/2 < (-7)/2 < (-6)/2`
∴ `-4 < (-7)/2 < - 3`
Therefore, `(-7)/2` lies between –3 and –4.
