    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let convert 1/5 and 1/7 to decimal number:

    1/5 = 0.2 and 1/7 ≈0.14

    We can use any number between these two decimals to create a fraction. Let us use 0.17, we have:

    0.14 < 0.17 < 0.2

    Once again, we convert the above decimal numbers to faction:

    1/7 < 17/100 < 1/5 find LCM

    100/700 < 119/700 < 140/700

    One fraction that is between 1/5 and 1/7 that does not have a denominator of 6 is 17/100

    Hope it will find you well
