Question from hinal, a student:

list 12 rational numbers which lie between
a) -1 and 0
b) -3 and -3

Hinal,

A rational number is any number that can be written in the form a/b where a and b are integers and b cannot equal 0. What number is half way between -1 and 0? Is it a rational number? What number is half way between this number and 0? Is it a rational number?

Does this help?
