what is the rational number between 2 and 2 and 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together by dividing by 2 write the answer as a mixed number
To find the rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2, we perform the following steps:
Step 1: Add the two numbers together
2 + 2 1/4 = 2 + 9/4
Step 2: Convert 2 to a fraction with the same denominator as 9/4
2 = 8/4
Step 3: Add the fractions together
8/4 + 9/4 = 17/4
Step 4: Divide the sum by 2
(17/4) ÷ 2 = 17/4 × 1/2 = 17/8
Finally, we can write the answer as a mixed number by dividing the numerator (17) by the denominator (8):
17 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Therefore, the rational number between 2 and 2 1/4 obtained by adding the numbers together and dividing by 2 is 2 1/8.
To find the rational number between 2 and 2 ¼, we can add the two numbers together and then divide by 2.
Step 1: Add the two numbers: 2 + 2 ¼ = 8/4 + 9/4 = 17/4.
Step 2: Divide the sum by 2: 17/4 ÷ 2 = 17/4 × 1/2 = 17/8.
To write the answer as a mixed number, we need to express 17/8 as a whole number part and a fraction part.
Step 3: Divide the numerator (17) by the denominator (8).
17 ÷ 8 = 2 remainder 1.
Step 4: Express the result as a mixed number: 2 1/8.
Therefore, the rational number between 2 and 2 ¼ using the method of adding the numbers and dividing by 2 is 2 1/8.
