To find a rational number between 7–√ and 8–√ with a denominator of 7, we can use the fact that (√2)^2 = 2.

Let's subtract (√2)^2 = 2 from both sides of the inequality:
7 - √2 - 2 < x < 8 - √2 - 2

This simplifies to:
5 - √2 < x < 6 - √2

Now, let's rationalize the denominator by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 7:
7(5 - √2) < 7x < 7(6 - √2)

This gives:
35 - 7√2 < 7x < 42 - 7√2

Divide all three sides by 7:
35/7 - 7√2/7 < x < 42/7 - 7√2/7

Simplifying further:
5 - √2 < x < 6 - √2

Therefore, a rational number between 7–√ and 8–√ with a denominator of 7 is in the range 5 - √2 < x < 6 - √2.

However, it is not possible to write this as an improper fraction with a denominator of 7, since the range is in terms of √2 and cannot be expressed as a simple fraction.

To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 between 7–√ and 8–√, we can first find the difference between these two numbers.

The difference between 7–√ and 8–√ can be obtained by subtracting 7 from 8 and √ from √, which gives:

(8 - √) - (7 - √) = 8 - √ - 7 + √ = 1

Therefore, the difference between the two numbers is 1.

Since we're looking for a rational number with a denominator of 7, we can express the difference of 1 as a fraction with a denominator of 7 as follows:

1/7

Hence, a rational number with a denominator of 7 between 7–√ and 8–√ is 1/7, written in improper fraction form.

The relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers is as follows:

1. All whole numbers are rational numbers: Whole numbers are a subset of rational numbers. Rational numbers include all numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. Whole numbers can be expressed in this form by considering them as the quotient of the number divided by 1. For example, 5 can be expressed as 5/1, and 0 can be expressed as 0/1. Therefore, all whole numbers are rational.

2. Not all rational numbers are whole numbers: Rational numbers include both fractions and whole numbers. Fractions that are not whole numbers are also considered rational numbers. For example, 3/4 or 7/8 are rational numbers that are not whole numbers.

In summary, while all whole numbers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers are a specific subset of rational numbers that can be expressed as fractions where the denominator is 1.
