Question
Find a rational number between 2 and 214
using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2. Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find a rational number between 2 and 214, we can use the method of adding the two numbers together and then dividing by 2.

1. Add the numbers together:
   \(2 + 214 = 216\)

2. Divide the sum by 2:
   \(216 \div 2 = 108\)

Since we need to express the answer as a mixed number, we observe that 108 is already a whole number. As a mixed number, it can be written as:

\[ 108 \frac{0}{1} \quad \text{or simply } 108 \]

So, a rational number between 2 and 214 is \(108\).
