To find a rational number between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \), we can first convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 5 and 3 is 15. So, we can rewrite the fractions as follows: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} \] \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{10}{15} \] Now, we see that: \[ \frac{9}{15} < \frac{10}{15} \] A rational number between \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \) could be \(\frac{9.5}{15}\), or simplified to \( \frac{19}{30} \). Thus, \( \frac{19}{30} \) is a valid rational number that fits perfectly between them!
