8 integers
an infinite number of rational numbers. they could be any integer or fraction between 5 and 14.....which is a lot.
Ex: 6, 9, 10, 16/3, 41/4 etc....

Between 5 and 14, there are 8 integers: 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13.
A rational number is any number which can be expresses as a decimal. So you have 5.1,5.11,5.11,5.111,5.1111. 5.11111....etc. There are going to be an infinite number of rational numbers between 5 and 14.

Between the numbers 5 and 14 there are 8 integers, and a gigantic number of rational numbers approaching the infinite, because for every number you write down, that number may be divided into many parts, such as:
5.00000000000000100000100000001.

But are you counting the endpoints or not?
If not, there are 8. If so, there are 10.
There are infinitely many rational numbers
between 5 and 14.
Let's show this.
Average 5 and 14 to get 9.5.
Now average 5 and 9.5 to get 7.25.
Repeat this process infinitely many times
Each time you get a new number greater than 5
but not equal to 5 and less than 14.
