2. Finding Rational Numbers Between Given Numbers

  • There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers
  • Method 1: Average method - find (a+b)/2 between numbers a and b
  • Method 2: Equivalent fraction method - express both numbers with same denominator

3. Representation of Numbers on Number Line

  • Every real number corresponds to a unique point on the number line
  • Use Pythagoras theorem to locate square roots on number line
  • Construct right triangles with appropriate sides to find √n

4. Decimal Expansions of Rational Numbers

  • Rational numbers have either terminating or non-terminating recurring decimal expansions
  • Terminating: decimal expansion ends after finite digits (like 0.5, 0.75)
  • Non-terminating recurring: decimal expansion repeats a block of digits (like 0.333...)
