To find a rational number between √2 and √3, we first need to determine their decimal values. The square root of 2 is approximately 1.414, and the square root of 3 is approximately 1.732.
A simple rational number that falls between these two values is 1.5. This number is a fraction, represented as 3/2, which is clearly between 1.414 and 1.732.
Additionally, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in the form of a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers, and b is not zero. Since 1.5 or 3/2 is a fraction with both a numerator and denominator, it qualifies as a rational number.
