Answer 2

Answer:

1/5

1. 1/56

2. 1/6

3. 1/65

4. 1/7

5. 1/75

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions I gave (1/56, 1/6, 1/65,  1/7, 1/75) are all in between 1/5 and 1/8.

A way to think about this is to add a zero to a denominator of 1/5 and 1/8 and turn them into whole numbers:

1/5 --> 1/50 --> 50

1/8 --> 1/80 --> 80

Then find number between them:

55, 60, 65, 70, 75

Then, turn them into a fraction with a 1 as the numerator and the number as denominators:

1/55, 1/60, 1/65, 1/70, 1/75

This is the process.  These numbers are all in between 1/5 and 1/8.

I hope this helps you!

(P.S., I don't think this works with negative numbers, though)
