There are an infinite quantity of rational numbers between -1 and 1.
For example all of these are rational numbers in this range:
-1, -7/8 -3/4, -5/8, -1/2, -3/8, -1/4, -1/8, 0, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1
Basically anything in the form a/b where a and b are integers, and the ratio of a/b is between -1 to 1 will satisfy the equation.
Given integers a and b, where 1 < a < b -- any of these will be valid rational numbers in the range -1 to 1:
a/b, 0, -a/b

a rational number between -1 and 1 will be of the form a/b (where a and b are integers) and -1 < a/b < 1.
these are also called (proper) fractions.
also, Pi/3 is not one of these. neither is Pi/4, Pi/5, Pi/6, ...
hope this helps...
