#-1/7# is one possible answer

Explanation:

A rational number just means #a/b# where #a# and #b# are both integers. Thus there are many possible numbers that will be rational that are between the given numbers.

To keep it simple let's keep the numerator the same at #1# and only change the denominator. Normally increasing the denominator will make the number smaller, but since we are dealing with negative numbers increasing the denominator will make the number larger.

Thus #-1/7# is larger than #-1/6#, but smaller than #-1/12#
