Consider the squares of 2\sqrt{2} and 3\sqrt{3}

(2)2{(\sqrt2)^2} = 2 and (3)2{(\sqrt3)^2} = 3

Take any rational number between 2 and 3 which is a perfect squares of a rational number,

One such number is 2.25 and

2.25 = (1.5)2(1.5)^2

2.25\sqrt{2.25} = 1.5

As, 2<2.25<32 \lt 2.25 \lt 3 , it follows that

2<2.25<3\sqrt{2} \lt \sqrt{2.25} \lt \sqrt{3}

2<1.5<3\sqrt{2} \lt 1.5 \lt \sqrt{3}

Hence , one rational number between 2\sqrt{2} and 3\sqrt{3} is 1.5 .
