To find a rational number between 5 and 5 1/4, we can take the average of these two numbers.
The average of 5 and 5 1/4 is (5 + 5 1/4) / 2.
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 is 4, so we can rewrite 5 as 20/4.
(20/4 + 21/4) / 2 = 41/4 / 2 = 41/8.
Therefore, the rational number between 5 and 5 1/4 is 41/8.
