A rational number between 5 and 5 1/4 can be found by taking the average of these 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 1/4 is 5.125.
