    A rational number can be defined as the quotient a/b of two integers so that q is not equal to zero.

    Given two rational numbers are -1/3 and 1/3

    we need to find five rational numbers between the given two numbers

    -1/3 can also be written as -1/3 * 6/6 = -6/18

    and,

    1/3 can also be written as 1/3 * 6/6 = 6/18

    (when we do the multiplication we get the same values)

    we know that the integers between -6 and 6 are: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5.

    similarly here for the given range -6/18 to 6/18

    the numbers between them are :

    -5/18 < -4/28 < -3/18 < -2/18 < -1/18 < 0 < 1/18 < 2/18 < 3/18 < 4/18 < 5/18

    we can select any five numbers of our choice from the above list.

    The five integers between the given two numbers are:

    -2/18, -4/18, 2/18, 3/18, 1/18.

    Given that sum of three consecutive odd numbers sum is 27

    let us suppose consider an odd number as x

    then its next consecutive odd number becomes x+2

    the other consecutive odd number is x+4

    we can write it as x+(x+2)+(x+4)=27

    3x+6=27

    subtract 6 from both sides

    3x+6-6=27-6

    3x=21

    x=21/3

    x=7

    Now x+2=7+2=9

    Now x+2=7+4=11

    Therefore the numbers are 7,9,11.
