To determine which of the given options is a rational number between 5 and 514, let's analyze each option:

  1. \( \sqrt{26} \) ≈ 5.099 (irrational number)
  2. \( 525 \) is greater than 514 (not valid)
  3. \( 5 \frac{2}{5} \) = \( 5 + 0.4 = 5.4 \) (valid)
  4. \( 5 \frac{1}{7} \) = \( 5 + \frac{1}{7} \approx 5.142857 \) (valid)
  5. \( 513 \) is less than 514 but not between 5 and 514 (valid)

Now, let's summarize the valid options, which represent rational numbers between 5 and 514:

  • \( 5 \frac{2}{5} \) (5.4)
  • \( 5 \frac{1}{7} \) (approximately 5.142857)

Thus, both \( 5 \frac{2}{5} \) and \( 5 \frac{1}{7} \) are rational numbers validly between 5 and 514. However, the best answer would generally be the first one listed that matches the criteria.

So, the correct response from the given list would be:

5 Start Fraction 2 over 5 end fraction (which equals 5.4).
