To determine which of the numbers listed is a rational number between 5 and 514, we need to analyze each option.

1. **525**: This is greater than 514.
2. **\(5 \frac{2}{5}\)**: This is equal to \(5 + \frac{2}{5} = 5.4\), which is between 5 and 514.
3. **\(\sqrt{26}\)**: This is an irrational number and is approximately 5.1. It is also between 5 and 514, but it is not a rational number.
4. **513**: This is between 5 and 514.
5. **517**: This is greater than 514.

The rational numbers between 5 and 514 from the options provided are \(5 \frac{2}{5}\) and 513. However, since the question asks for a rational number between 5 and 514 and considering it asks for one response, the best choice is:

**\(5 \frac{2}{5}\)** (which is approximately 5.4).

To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\), we first need to approximate the values of these square roots.

1. **Calculate \(\sqrt{7}\):**
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.6457513110645906\)

2. **Calculate \(\sqrt{8}\):**
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.8284271247461903\)

Now, we're looking for a fraction with a denominator of 7 that lies between these two values. A rational number with a denominator of 7 can be expressed as:

\[
\frac{n}{7}
\]

We need to find an integer \(n\) such that:

\[
2.6457513110645906 < \frac{n}{7} < 2.8284271247461903
\]

To solve for \(n\), we multiply the inequalities by 7:

\[
7 \times 2.6457513110645906 < n < 7 \times 2.8284271247461903
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
7 \times 2.6457513110645906 \approx 18.520258177452133 \quad (\text{rounded to } 18.52)
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
7 \times 2.8284271247461903 \approx 19.798989873222332 \quad (\text{rounded to } 19.80)
\]

Now we need \(n\) to be an integer that satisfies:

\[
18.520258 < n < 19.798989
\]

The only integer \(n\) that fits this condition is \(19\).

Thus, the rational number with a denominator of 7 that is between \(\sqrt{7}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\) is:

\[
\frac{19}{7}
\]
