Answer 2

Answer:

There are many. One of them is 3/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are, of course, infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers (By the denseness property of rational numbers).

But here, according to the question, we need to find any one. An easy method to find it is that we find the rational number which lies in the middle of the given two numbers.

Let a= - 1/4 and b= 5/8.

Then, m= (a+b) /2 will be the middle number

i.e. m = {(- 1/4) + (5/8)} / 2

=> m = 3/16
