By using the definition of rational numbers, we can get:
Remember that a rational number is a number of the form:
N = a/b
Where a and b are integer numbers. Also, any number with a finite number of digits (or infinite repeating) after the decimal point is a rational point.
a) First, we want to find 3 rational numbers between 1/4 and 0.252525...
We can rewrite:
1/4 = 0.25
Then we want to find 3 rationals between 0.25 and 0.2525...
For example, 0.2501 meets this requirement, is larger than 0.25 and smaller than 0.2525...
Another two examples will be 0.2502 and 0.2503
b) Now we have 1/3 = 0.333... and 0.3434...
3 rational numbers between these two are:
0.333... < 0.334 < 0.3434...
0.333... < 0.335 < 0.3434...
0.333... < 0.336 < 0.3434...
