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.

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.
