To find a rational number with a denominator of 7 that lies between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\), we will first determine the approximate values of these expressions.
1. Calculate \(7 - \sqrt{7}\):
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.6457513110645906\)
- Therefore, \(7 - \sqrt{7} \approx 7 - 2.6457513110645906 \approx 4.3542486889354094\).
2. Calculate \(8 - \sqrt{8}\):
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.8284271247461903\)
- Therefore, \(8 - \sqrt{8} \approx 8 - 2.8284271247461903 \approx 5.17157287525381\).
This gives us the bounds:
- Lower bound: \(4.3542486889354094\)
- Upper bound: \(5.17157287525381\)
Now, we need to find a rational number with a denominator of 7 in this range. A rational number with a denominator of 7 can be represented as \(\frac{n}{7}\), where \(n\) is an integer.
To find suitable values for \(n\), we will multiply the bounds by 7:
- For the lower bound:
\[
4.3542486889354094 \times 7 \approx 30.481741822548866 \quad \text{(rounding this gives us 30 or 31)}
\]
- For the upper bound:
\[
5.17157287525381 \times 7 \approx 36.201010126777677 \quad \text{(rounding this gives us 36 or 37)}
\]
Now we need integer values of \(n\) that are within the range 30 to 36.
Checking whole numbers in that range:
- \(n = 31: \frac{31}{7} \approx 4.428571428571429\)
- \(n = 32: \frac{32}{7} \approx 4.571428571428571\)
- \(n = 33: \frac{33}{7} \approx 4.714285714285714\)
- \(n = 34: \frac{34}{7} \approx 4.857142857142857\)
- \(n = 35: \frac{35}{7} \approx 5.0\)
All of these \(n\) values yield rational numbers between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\):
- \(\frac{31}{7} \approx 4.43\) (between \(4.354\) and \(5.171\))
- \(\frac{32}{7} \approx 4.57\) (between \(4.354\) and \(5.171\))
- \(\frac{33}{7} \approx 4.71\) (between \(4.354\) and \(5.171\))
- \(\frac{34}{7} \approx 4.86\) (between \(4.354\) and \(5.171\))
- \(\frac{35}{7} = 5.0\) (also between \(4.354\) and \(5.171\))
Thus, any of the following rational numbers fit the criteria:
- \(\frac{31}{7}, \frac{32}{7}, \frac{33}{7}, \frac{34}{7}, \frac{35}{7}\).
A specific example is:
\[
\frac{33}{7}
\]
This value is between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\).
1. Calculate \(7 - \sqrt{7}\):
- \(\sqrt{7} \approx 2.6457513110645906\)
- Therefore, \(7 - \sqrt{7} \approx 7 - 2.6457513110645906 \approx 4.3542486889354094\).
2. Calculate \(8 - \sqrt{8}\):
- \(\sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.8284271247461903\)
- Therefore, \(8 - \sqrt{8} \approx 8 - 2.8284271247461903 \approx 5.17157287525381\).
This gives us the bounds:
- Lower bound: \(4.3542486889354094\)
- Upper bound: \(5.17157287525381\)

This value is between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\).

I apologize for any confusion. If you're looking for a more straightforward, human-friendly way to express a rational number with a denominator of \(7\) between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\), let's simplify this.
From our previous calculation, we determined:
- \(7 - \sqrt{7} \approx 4.354\)
- \(8 - \sqrt{8} \approx 5.172\)
Now, the rational fractions with a denominator of \(7\) could be:
- \(\frac{31}{7} \approx 4.428\)
- \(\frac{32}{7} \approx 4.571\)
- \(\frac{33}{7} \approx 4.714\)
- \(\frac{34}{7} \approx 4.857\)
- \(\frac{35}{7} = 5.0\)
Among these, any of these fractions could serve as a valid answer. A simple option is:
### \(\frac{33}{7}\)
This fraction is clearly between \(7 - \sqrt{7}\) and \(8 - \sqrt{8}\), represented as:
\[
4 \frac{5}{7} \quad \text{or} \quad 4.714 \text{ (approximately)}
\]
So, \(\frac{33}{7}\) is a good choice for a rational number between the two bounds!
