Full solution

Q. Find a rational and an irrational number between 25 \frac{2}{5} and 34 \frac{3}{4}
  1. Convert to decimals: Convert the fractions to decimal form to make it easier to find numbers between them.\newlineCalculate 25\frac{2}{5} and 34\frac{3}{4} in decimal form.\newline25=0.4\frac{2}{5} = 0.4\newline34=0.75\frac{3}{4} = 0.75
  2. Find rational number: Find a rational number between 0.40.4 and 0.750.75. A simple way to find a rational number between two numbers is to take their average. (0.4+0.75)/2=1.15/2=0.575(0.4 + 0.75) / 2 = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 0.5750.575 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction (575/1000)(575/1000).
  3. Find irrational number: Find an irrational number between 0.40.4 and 0.750.75. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. A well-known irrational number is the square root of 22, which is approximately 1.4141.414. However, we need a number less than 0.750.75. We can use the square root of a non-perfect square that lies between 0.420.4^2 and 0.7520.75^2. 0.42=0.160.4^2 = 0.16 0.752=0.56250.75^2 = 0.5625 We can choose a non-perfect square between 0.160.16 and 0.750.7500, for example, 0.750.7511. The square root of 0.750.7511 is irrational and lies between 0.40.4 and 0.750.75.
