To find a rational number between two and $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by two, we can first add the two numbers together:
$$2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$
Next, we divide the sum by two:
$$\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\div2=\frac{5}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}$$
Therefore, $\frac{5}{4}$ is a rational number between two and $\frac{2}{4}$.
