using an example.
2. Find two rational numbers lying between 3/5 and 4/5. Explain the method used.
3. Without actual division, determine whether 987/495 is a terminating or non-terminating recurring
decimal. Justify your answer.
4. Express 1/2^3 + 1/3^3 + 1/6 as a single rational number in simplest form.
5. Prove that if x = 7/11 and y = 13/19, then x + y and xy are also rational numbers.
6. Simplify: (3/4 ÷ 5/6) + (7/8 ÷ 21/32).
