The numbers 3 and 4 can be written as 31\dfrac{3}{1} and 41\dfrac{4}{1}.

Since we want to find six rational numbers between the given numbers, multiplying the numerator and denominator of the above numbers by 6 + 1 i.e. by 7, we get 217\dfrac{21}{7} and 287\dfrac{28}{7}, which are equivalent to the given numbers.

As 21<22<23<24<25<26<27<28,217<227<237<247<257<267<277<287\text{As } 21 \lt 22 \lt 23 \lt 24 \lt 25 \lt 26 \lt 27 \lt 28, \\[0.7em] \dfrac{21}{7} \lt \dfrac{22}{7} \lt \dfrac{23}{7} \lt \dfrac{24}{7} \lt \dfrac{25}{7} \lt \dfrac{26}{7} \lt \dfrac{27}{7} \lt \dfrac{28}{7}

Therefore, six rational numbers between 3 and 4 are:

227,237,247,257,267,277\bold{\dfrac{22}{7}}, \bold{\dfrac{23}{7}}, \bold{\dfrac{24}{7}}, \bold{\dfrac{25}{7}}, \bold{\dfrac{26}{7}}, \bold{\dfrac{27}{7}}
