First, let's find the values of \( \sqrt{8} \) and \( \sqrt{9} \):
\[
\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828
\]
\[
\sqrt{9} = 3
\]
Thus, we are looking for a rational number \( \frac{a}{7} \) such that \( 2.828 < \frac{a}{7} < 3 \).
To isolate \( a \), we will multiply all parts of the inequality by 7:
\[
2.828 \times 7 < a < 3 \times 7
\]
Calculating the left side:
\[
2.828 \times 7 \approx 19.796
\]
And the right side:
\[
3 \times 7 = 21
\]
This gives us the inequality:
\[
19.796 < a < 21
\]
The integer values for \( a \) that fall between 19.796 and 21 are 20. Thus, we can choose:
\[
a = 20
\]
Now, expressing it as an improper fraction:
\[
\frac{20}{7}
\]
To confirm that this satisfies our original inequality:
Calculating \( \frac{20}{7} \):
\[
\frac{20}{7} \approx 2.857
\]
Now we check:
\[
2.828 < 2.857 < 3
\]
This holds true, so the rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \( \sqrt{8} \) and \( \sqrt{9} \) is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{20}{7}}
\]
\[
\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828
\]
\[
\sqrt{9} = 3
\]
Thus, we are looking for a rational number \( \frac{a}{7} \) such that \( 2.828 < \frac{a}{7} < 3 \).
To isolate \( a \), we will multiply all parts of the inequality by 7:

Got it! Let's simplify the explanation.
To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \( \sqrt{8} \) and \( \sqrt{9} \):
1. Calculate the square roots:
- \( \sqrt{8} \) is about 2.828.
- \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \).
2. We need a fraction \( \frac{a}{7} \) such that:
- \( 2.828 < \frac{a}{7} < 3 \).
3. Multiply all parts of the inequality by 7:
- \( 7 \times 2.828 \approx 19.796 \)
- \( 3 \times 7 = 21 \).
4. So we have:
- \( 19.796 < a < 21 \).
5. The whole number \( a \) that fits this is 20.
6. Therefore, the fraction is:
- \( \frac{20}{7} \).
In conclusion, the rational number is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{20}{7}}
\]
