A number between 2.65 and 2.66 can be any value that is greater than 2.65 but less than 2.66. To find such a number, we can simply add a digit to the right of the decimal point that is between the digits 5 and 6. One example of a number that fits this criteria is 2.655.
This is because 2.655 is greater than 2.65 and less than 2.66. The concept we are using here is based on the idea of decimal places and the value of digits after the decimal point.
