Find a rational number between 11/15 and 4/5 by first writing 4/5 with denominator 15. What is 4/5 as a fraction over 15, and which number then lies between?

Question

Accepted Answer

4/5 = 12/15; no fifteenth lies strictly between, but 23/30 does. 4/5 = 12/15. Between 11/15 and 12/15 no integer numerator over 15 fits; using denominator 30, 11/15 = 22/30 and 12/15 = 24/30, so 23/30 lies between.
