To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that lies between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\), we first need to calculate the approximate values of these square roots.
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.645751311\)
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828427124\)
Now, we want to find a rational number of the form \(\frac{n}{7}\) such that:
\[
2.645751311 < \frac{n}{7} < 2.828427124
\]
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply the entire inequality by 7:
\[
7 \times 2.645751311 < n < 7 \times 2.828427124
\]
Calculating the left and right sides gives:
\[
18.520258177 < n < 19.798989868
\]
Since \(n\) must be an integer, the only integer value that satisfies this inequality is \(n = 19\).
Thus, the rational number is:
\[
\frac{19}{7}
\]
Therefore, the rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\) is \(\frac{19}{7}\).
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.645751311\)
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828427124\)
Now, we want to find a rational number of the form \(\frac{n}{7}\) such that:
\[
2.645751311 < \frac{n}{7} < 2.828427124
\]
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply the entire inequality by 7:
\[
7 \times 2.645751311 < n < 7 \times 2.828427124
\]
Calculating the left and right sides gives:
\[
18.520258177 < n < 19.798989868
\]
Since \(n\) must be an integer, the only integer value that satisfies this inequality is \(n = 19\).
Thus, the rational number is:
\[
\frac{19}{7}
\]
Therefore, the rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\) is \(\frac{19}{7}\).

Let's double-check the calculations to ensure we find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that lies strictly between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\).
1. **Calculating the square roots:**
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.6457513110645906\)
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.8284271247461903\)
2. **Setting up the inequality:**
We need \(n\) such that:
\[
2.645751311 < \frac{n}{7} < 2.828427124
\]
3. **Eliminating the fraction:**
Multiply the entire inequality by 7:
\[
7 \times 2.645751311 < n < 7 \times 2.828427124
\]
- Calculating the left side:
\[
7 \times 2.645751311 \approx 18.520258177
\]
- Calculating the right side:
\[
7 \times 2.828427124 \approx 19.798989868
\]
4. **Finding possible integer values for \(n\):**
The integers \(n\) that satisfy this inequality are:
\[
19 < n < 20
\]
This reveals that \(n = 19\) is indeed the only integer value that falls between these two boundaries.
5. **Final rational number:**
Therefore, the rational number with a denominator of 7 is \(\frac{19}{7}\), which approximately equals \(2.714285714285714\).
This value is indeed between \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.645751311\) and \(\sqrt{8} \approx 2.828427124\).
So yes, \(\frac{19}{7}\) is correct and lies between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\). Thank you for your question, and I'm here if you need further assistance!
