To find a rational number between 8 and 81/2, we can take the average of the two numbers.
8 is equivalent to 8/1.
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 2.
8/1 = 16/2
Now, we can find the average:
(16/2 + 81/2) / 2 = (97/2) / 2 = 97/4
Therefore, 97/4 is a rational number between 8 and 81/2.
