To find a rational number between two given irrational numbers, we need to find a rational number whose square falls between the squares of the given irrational numbers.

First, we square both the given irrational numbers:
(√7)^2 = 7
(√8)^2 = 8

We can see that 7 < 7.5^2 < 8, so we need to find a rational number whose square is 7.5^2.

To simplify the square, we note that 7.5 is half of 15, so 7.5^2 = (15/2)^2 = 15^2 / 2^2 = 225/4.

Therefore, a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between √7 and √8 is:
225/4 ÷ 7 = 225/28.

So, the answer is 225/28.
