Question

The fraction 26/5 is between which two numbers? 2 and 3 3 and 4 4 and 5 5 and 6

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find that between what two numbers the fraction $\frac{26}{5}$ lies.

In order to know from the given choices between what two numbers $\frac{26}{5}$ lies, we first need to find the decimal value of $\frac{26}{5}$.

We know that $\frac{26}{5} =5.2$

Now, let us consider given choices one by one.

Clearly, 5.2 is greater than 3, it cannot lie between 2 and 3.

Clearly, 5.2 is greater than 4, it cannot lie between 3 and 4.

Also, 5.2 is greater than 5, it cannot lie between 4 and 5.

Now, 5.2 is greater than 5 and less than 6. So, we can say that 5.2 or $\frac{26}{5}$  lies between 5 and 6.

Hence, $\frac{26}{5}$  lies between 5 and 6.

So, choice number (4) is correct.

Answer 2

26/5 is 5.2 if im not mistaken, so it is between 5 and 6. Hope this helps.
