Answer

LCM of 6 and 9 is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

Make denominator of each given rational number equal to 18 (the LCM).

56=5×36×3=1518\dfrac{5}{6} = \dfrac{5 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \dfrac{15}{18}

and

89=8×29×2=1618\dfrac{8}{9} = \dfrac{8 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \dfrac{16}{18}

Since six rational numbers are required between 56\dfrac{5}{6} and 89\dfrac{8}{9}; multiply the numerator and the denominator of each rational number by 6 + 1 = 7.

1518=15×718×7=105126\dfrac{15}{18} = \dfrac{15 \times 7}{18 \times 7} = \dfrac{105}{126}

and

1618=16×718×7=112126\dfrac{16}{18} = \dfrac{16 \times 7}{18 \times 7} = \dfrac{112}{126}

Required rational numbers between 56\dfrac{5}{6} and 89\dfrac{8}{9} are : 105126,106126,107126,108126,109126,110126,111126,112126\dfrac{105}{126} , \dfrac{106}{126} , \dfrac{107}{126} , \dfrac{108}{126} , \dfrac{109}{126} , \dfrac{110}{126} , \dfrac{111}{126} , \dfrac{112}{126}

= 56,5363,107126,67,109126,5563,3742,89\dfrac{5}{6} , \dfrac{53}{63} , \dfrac{107}{126} , \dfrac{6}{7} , \dfrac{109}{126} , \dfrac{55}{63} , \dfrac{37}{42} , \dfrac{8}{9}

Hence, 56,5363,107126,67,109126\dfrac{5}{6} , \dfrac{53}{63} , \dfrac{107}{126} , \dfrac{6}{7} , \dfrac{109}{126} and 3742\dfrac{37}{42} lie between 56\dfrac{5}{6} and 89\dfrac{8}{9}.
