(a)$\frac{1}{4}$
(b)$\frac{23}{24}$
(c)$\frac{11}{12}$
(d)$\frac{17}{24}$
Answer
Explanation
$\frac{7}{8}=0.875, \frac{1}{3}=0.333, \frac{1}{4}=0.25, \frac{23}{24}=0.958$, $$\frac{11}{12}=0.916, \frac{17}{24}=0.708 .$$ Clearly, 0.708 lies between 0.333 and 0.875. $$\therefore \quad \frac{17}{24} \text { lies between } \frac{1}{3} \text { and } \frac{7}{8} .$$
