Find an irrational number between $\frac {1}{7}$ and $\frac {2}{7}$
We saw that $\frac{1}{7}=0 . \overline{142857}$. So, you can easily calculate $\frac{2}{7}=0 . \overline{285714}$.
To find an irrational number between $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{7},$ we find a number which is non-terminating non-recurring lying between them. Of course, you can find infinitely many such numbers.
An example of such a number is $0.150150015000150000 \ldots$
Show that $1.272727 \ldots=1 . \overline{27}$ . can be expressed in the form $\frac {p }{q }$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \ne 0$.
Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational :
$(i)$ $2-\sqrt{5}$
$(ii)$ $(3+\sqrt{23})-\sqrt{23}$
$(iii)$ $\frac{2 \sqrt{7}}{7 \sqrt{7}}$
$(iv)$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$(v)$ $2 \pi$
