Answer

The L.C.M of 3 and 4 is 12.

13=1×43×4=41214=1×34×3=312Since 3<4,14<13\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \dfrac{4}{12} \\[0.5em] \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \dfrac{3}{12} \\[0.5em] \text{Since } 3 \lt 4, \dfrac{1}{4} \lt \dfrac{1}{3}

A rational number between 14\dfrac{1}{4} and 13\dfrac{1}{3}

=14+132=4+3122=724= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{3}}{2} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{4 + 3}{12}}{2} \\[0.5em] = \bold{\dfrac{7}{24}} \\[0.5em]

A rational number between 14\dfrac{1}{4} and 724\dfrac{7}{24}

=14+7242=6+7242=1348= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{7}{24}}{2} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{\dfrac{6 + 7}{24}}{2} \\[0.5em] = \bold{\dfrac{13}{48}} \\[0.5em]

Numbers in ascending order are:

14,1348,724,13\bold{\dfrac{1}{4}}, \bold{\dfrac{13}{48}}, \bold{\dfrac{7}{24}}, \bold{\dfrac{1}{3}}
