Find a rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2. Write the answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To find a rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2, we add the two numbers:

2 + 2 1/4 = 2 + 9/4 = 8/4 + 9/4 = 17/4.

Next, we divide 17/4 by 2:

(17/4) ÷ 2 = 17/4 × 1/2 = 17/8.

To express the result as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (17) by the denominator (8) and write the quotient (2) as the whole number part, while the remainder (1) is written as the numerator of the fraction part:

17 divide by 8 equals 2 remainder 1.

This gives us the mixed number 2 1/8.

Thus, the rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2 is 2 1/8.
