I guess we would have to find a decimal with a number that doesn't repeat, or terminate.
OpenStudy (daniel.ohearn1):
Is it find a irrational number or all irrational numbers between those fractions?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
It's impossible to list out all of the irrational numbers between any two real numbers
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
.4510100100010000.. is one
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
because it is greater than .4444... and less than .5555...

correct @mathisfun13
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
I just need another example
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
another one is
step 1) take the midpoint of 0.4444... and 0.5555....
midpoint formula is M = (a+b)/2
step 2) add on some very small irrational number, like pi/1000 to make the overall result irrational
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
or you can compute the geometric mean of 4/9 and 5/9
OpenStudy (across):
gee... this cannot be easier...\[\frac{16}{81}<\frac{21}{81}<\frac{25}{81}\\\frac{4}{9}<\frac{\sqrt{21}}{9}<\frac{5}{9}\]
