Answer:

9.6 is one such number

Explanation:

There are infinitely many.

If we are looking at decimals which I think that might be easier here, you are looking for ones that terminate or repeat (same pattern over and over).

So we are looking for a number between 9.5 and 9.7 that is a decimal that either terminates or repeats.

That number could be 9.6. That one is probably the easier one to see.

There are many more like these possibilities:

1) 9.6

2) 9.5001

3) 9.51

4) 9.54

5) 9.669
