To determine which of the given options is a rational number between 5 and \(5 \frac{14}{1}\), we need to find the numerical values of the options provided and check where they fall within that range.

The number \(5 \frac{14}{1}\) can be simplified to \(5 + 14 = 19\). Therefore, we are checking for rational numbers between 5 and 19.

Let's evaluate each option:

  1. \( \sqrt{26} \): This is an irrational number and approximately 5.099, which is between 5 and 19.

  2. \( 5 \frac{1}{8} = 5.125\): This is a rational number, and it's between 5 and 19.

  3. \( 5 \frac{2}{5} = 5.4\): This is also a rational number, and it's between 5 and 19.

  4. \( 5 \frac{1}{3} = 5.333...\): This is also a rational number, and it's between 5 and 19.

Conclusion: The rational numbers between 5 and \(5\frac{14}{1}\) given in the choices include \( 5 \frac{1}{8} \) (5.125), \( 5 \frac{2}{5} \) (5.4), and \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \) (5.333...). Therefore the correct responses that fit your criteria are:

  • \( 5 \frac{1}{8} \)
  • \( 5 \frac{2}{5} \)
  • \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \)

If you need to choose one or more specific options based on your instructions, please clarify.

Among the given options, the rational numbers between 5 and \(5 \frac{14}{1}\) (which is 19) are:

  • \(5 \frac{1}{8}\) (which equals 5.125)
  • \(5 \frac{2}{5}\) (which equals 5.4)
  • \(5 \frac{1}{3}\) (which equals approximately 5.333)

If you need to select just one answer, the best choice would be \(5 \frac{1}{8}\) (5.125) as it is clearly between 5 and 19.

Final Answer: \(5 \frac{1}{8}\).
