There are two ways to find the rational number between any two numbers. I will tell you an easy method to find it.

As we have to find 5 rational numbers between 1 & 2

Take 5 and add 1 to it i.e. 5+1= 6

Now take the first number and multiply and divide it by 6 i.e.

1x6/6 = 6/6

Also take the second number and multiply and divide it by 6 i.e.

2x6/6= 12/6

This is done to convert 1 & 2 into rational number i.e. in form of p/q

Now we have two numbers 6/6 and 12/6 so five rational numbers between them are

7/6, 8/6, 9/6, 10/6, 11/6

The values of these number you can check will be between 1 & 2. Actually between any two number there are infinite number of rational numbers.
