Given

√ 5 and  √7

Concept

Rational numbers are those numbers which are either terminating, non terminating or recurring.

Calculation

√5 = 2.236 and √7 = 2.64

rational number lies between the 2.33... and 2.64...

so, only \(2{2\over5}\) is the number which lies between 2.236 and 2.64

∴ \(2{2\over5}\) is a rational number between \(\sqrt{5}\) and \(\sqrt{7}\)
