Introduction

There are countless rational numbers in between two rational numbers. Thus we can go on dividing the space between any two numbers infinitely and we will get countless rational numbers

Pre-Requisites:

Basic knowledge about numbers

Activity:

Make a number line and locate the fractions we get by dividing various sets of integers on the line and see how many rational numbers can you count.

Real Life Question:

Into how many pieces can you divide your piece of cake?
