Which of the following is a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4?(1 point)
5 2/5
5 Start Fraction 2 over 5 end fraction
26−−√
start root 26 end root
5 1/7
5 Start Fraction 1 over 7 end fraction
5 1/3
5 1/3
To find a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4, we can find the average of the two numbers.
Add 5 and 5 1/4 together:
5 + 5 1/4 = 5 + 20/4 = 20/4 + 20/4 = 40/4 = 10
Divide by 2 to find the average:
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Therefore, 5 is a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4.
