A rational number is a positive or negative FraCtional number, or a whole
number because because you can always make a whole number into a fraction by
putting it over 1.

Since both given fractions have 11 in the denominator, think of all the
numerators between the numerator of the first, -3, and the numerator of the
second, which is 8.

The integers between -3 and 8 are these:

-3, -2, -1,  0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8

so use them as numerators and give each one a denominator of 11:

-3/11, -2/11, -1/11,  0/11,  1/11,  2/11,  3/11,  4/11,  5/11,  6/11,  7/11,  8/11

Only one of those reduces.  0/11 is just 0

So pick any 6 of those fractions between the first one and the last one.

find rational number between and
Well, the mediant helps us again. If we add up the numerators and denominators of two fractions and treat those sums as the new numerator and denominator, the result is guaranteed to be between the two fractions (equal only if the two initial fractions were equal).
So, boom, is guaranteed to be between them.
