Question

Find a real number between each pair of numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is not very clearly written, so i will answer in a general way.

When you have two numbers, A and B, such that:

B > A

and you want to find a number between A and B, you must find a number larger than A and smaller than B.

A < x < B.

Then if we have:

13 and 12.

The largest number is 13, then we want a number smaller than 13, and larger than 12.

An option is 12.5

12< 12.5 < 13.

6.42 and 2

The largest number is 6.42, then we want a number smaller than 6.42 and larger than 2.

An option is 4.

2 < 4 < 6.42

A harder example can be:

13.24 and 13.25

We want something larger than 13.24 and smaller than 13.25

Then we can write:

13.245

This is larger than 13.24 (by 0.005)

And smaller than 13.25 (by the same amount)

13.24 <  13.245 < 13.25
