To find a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4, we can take the average of those two numbers. Starting with 5, we can convert 5 1/4 to a decimal. 5 1/4 = 5 + 1/4 = 5 + 0.25 = 5.25 Now, taking the average of 5 and 5.25:

(5 + 5.25) / 2 = 10.25 / 2 = 5.125

Therefore, a rational number between 5 and 5/14 is 5.125.

Hope this helped :)
