Answer:

-2/5

-4/9

Explanation:

-5/6 = -0.83333 (three's keep repeating)

-3/8 = -0.375

the above are both rational because they result in a repeating or terminating decimal

There are an infinite number of rational numbers between the two listed above but here are some:

-2/5 = -0.40 (terminates)

-4/9 = -0.4444444 (fours keep repeating)

-1/2 = -0.50 (terminates)

-3/4 = -0.75 (terminates)
