Which of the following is a rational number between 5 and 514

Question

5
1
4
?

Answer 1

To find a rational number between 5 and 514, we can choose any number that falls within this range.

One easy choice is to take the average of the two numbers:

$$\frac{5+514}{2}=\frac{519}{2}=259.5$$

259.5 is a rational number and it is between 5 and 514.

However, if you are looking for a specific rational number from the options you provided, those options (5, 1, 4) are not between 5 and 514 since 5 is not included in the range and 1 and 4 are both less than 5.

If you need a rational number between 5 and 514, you can also consider any other number in that range, such as 6, 100, or 500.
