1 answer

To identify a number between 5 and 5 1/4, we first convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction or decimal for a clearer comparison.

5 1/4 can be converted as follows:

  • 5 1/4 = 5 + 1/4 = 5 + 0.25 = 5.25

Now we are looking for a number that falls between 5 and 5.25.

Examples of numbers between 5 and 5.25 include:

  • 5.1
  • 5.2
  • 5.15
  • 5.24

Any of these numbers would qualify as being between 5 and 5 1/4.

If you provide specific options, I can help identify which of them fits the criteria.
