Math Problem Statement

find a rational number between 3.14 and pie

Solution

To find a rational number between 3.14 and π\pi, we need to consider both numbers:

  • 3.143.14 is a decimal approximation of π\pi.
  • π3.14159265358979...\pi \approx 3.14159265358979...

Now, we can choose a rational number between these two values. One such number is 3.1413.141, which is a decimal representation of the rational number 31411000\frac{3141}{1000}. This is a good candidate because it’s slightly larger than 3.14 and still smaller than π\pi.

So, 3.1413.141 (or 31411000\frac{3141}{1000}) is a rational number that lies between 3.14 and π\pi.
