Answer

LCM of 5 and 3 is 3 x 5 = 15

Make denominator of each given rational number equal to 15 (the LCM).

35=3×35×3=915\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \dfrac{9}{15}

and

23=2×53×5=1015\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \dfrac{10}{15}

Since five rational numbers are required between 35\dfrac{3}{5} and 23\dfrac{2}{3}; multiply the numerator and the denominator of each rational number by 5 + 1 = 6.

915=9×615×6=5490\therefore \dfrac{9}{15} = \dfrac{9 \times 6}{15 \times 6} = \dfrac{54}{90}

and

1015=10×615×6=6090\dfrac{10}{15} = \dfrac{10 \times 6}{15 \times 6} = \dfrac{60}{90}

⇒ Required rational numbers between 35\dfrac{3}{5} and 23\dfrac{2}{3} are : 5490,5590,5690,5790,5890,5990,6090\dfrac{54}{90} , \dfrac{55}{90} , \dfrac{56}{90} , \dfrac{57}{90} , \dfrac{58}{90} , \dfrac{59}{90} , \dfrac{60}{90}

= 35,1118,2845,1930,2945,5990,23\dfrac{3}{5} , \dfrac{11}{18} , \dfrac{28}{45} , \dfrac{19}{30} , \dfrac{29}{45} , \dfrac{59}{90} , \dfrac{2}{3}

Hence, 1118,2845,1930,2945\dfrac{11}{18} , \dfrac{28}{45} , \dfrac{19}{30} , \dfrac{29}{45} and 5990\dfrac{59}{90} lie between 35\dfrac{3}{5} and 23\dfrac{2}{3}.
