Question

Find a rational number and an irrational number that are between 5.2 and 5.5. Include the decimal approximation of the irrational number to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

rational numbers are numbers that can be made into a fraction.
so 5.3 is a number between 5.2 and 5.5

irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction
square root 29 = 5.39...which is between 5.2 and 5.5

Answer 2

16/3(5.33) is irrational and 5.3 is rational.
