The rational number between 5 and 514 is option 513.
What is a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between 7–√ and 8–√. Write your answer as an improper fraction.(1 point)
To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 between 7–√ and 8–√, we need to find the square root values that fall between these two numbers.
Simplifying 7–√ and 8–√:
7–√ = 7 – √7
8–√ = 8 – √8
We need to find a square root value (√n) that is between √7 and √8.
Calculating the square roots:
√7 ≈ 2.64575131
√8 ≈ 2.82842712
Now, we need to find a rational number with a denominator of 7 between these two square roots. Let's choose the rational number as 3/7.
Therefore, the rational number with a denominator of 7 between 7–√ and 8–√ is written as an improper fraction: 3/7.
To find a rational number between 5 and 514, let's consider the options provided:
Option 1: 513
Option 2: 5/3
Option 3: √26
Option 4: 525
Option 5: 517
To determine if a number is rational, we need to check if it can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
- Option 1 (513) is an integer and thus a rational number.
- Option 2 (5/3) is a fraction and meets the definition of a rational number.
- Option 3 (√26) is an irrational number since it cannot be expressed as a fraction. Therefore, it is not a rational number.
- Option 4 (525) is an integer and therefore a rational number.
- Option 5 (517) is an integer and thus a rational number.
Therefore, the only rational number among the options provided that is between 5 and 514 is 5/3.
To find a rational number between 5 and 514, we need to look for a number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Let's analyze the given options:
- 513: This is an integer, not a rational number, as it cannot be expressed as a fraction.
- 5 Start Fraction 1 over 3 end fraction: This is a fractional notation. To convert it into a decimal, divide 1 by 3, which equals 0.3333 (rounded to four decimal places).
- start root 26 end root: This is an irrational number since it involves a square root that cannot be expressed as a fraction.
- 525: Again, this is an integer, not a rational number, as it cannot be expressed as a fraction.
- 5 Start Fraction 2 over 5 end fraction: To convert this fraction into a decimal, divide 2 by 5, which equals 0.4.
From the given options, the only number that is a rational number between 5 and 514 is 5 Start Fraction 2 over 5 end fraction, which is equivalent to 0.4.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 5 Start Fraction 2 over 5 end fraction.
