Which number is between 1/7 and and 0.2?
@Bananas1234 do you know how to write 0.2 as a fraction?
2/10, then reduce it to 1/5 @Hero
Okay great, which means now we have 1/7 and 1/5 to work with and we need to find the fraction between them. Do you know how to find the least common multiple of 5 and 7?
hmmm im not sure
Basically all you do is keep finding multiples of both 5 and 7 until you find a number that is a multiple of both. For example: Suppose I wanted to find the least common multiple of 3 and 8, I would double both numbers, then triple both numbers, then quadruple both numbers (if necessary), etc until I found a number common to both: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,`24` 8,16,`24` As you can see, as a result we see that 24 is the least common multiple of 3 and 8.
Wasn't there a list of four possible answers? If so, please share that list now. I'm curious whether these four possible answers are in the form of rational fractions or decimal fractions.
9/35, 6/35, 2/9, or 1/9
A? @triciaal
