infinite is the answer.. .. ... ..

Answer 2

Explanation:

we add 1/10 to 5, we get 5 + 1/10 which equals 51/10 (a rational number with a decimal representation of 5.1).

If we add 1/100, we get 501/100 which equals 5.01.

If we add 1/1000, we get 5001/1000 which equals 5.001.

We can continue this forever:

50001/10000 = 5.0001

500001/100000 = 5.00001

5000001/1000000 = 5.00001

Since this process can go on forever, and each time we are adding a smaller and smaller amount to 5, there are an infinite number of rational numbers between 5 and 14.
