To find a rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2, we need to find the average of the two numbers.

First, convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction:
2 1/4 = 8/4 + 1/4 = 9/4

Next, add the two numbers together:
2 + 9/4 = 8/4 + 9/4 = 17/4

Now, divide the sum by 2:
(17/4) / 2 = (17/4) ÷ (2/1) = (17/4) * (1/2) = 17/8

So, the rational number between 2 and 2 1/4, when found using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2, is 17/8 or 2 1/8.
