Find a rational number between 2 and 2/14 using the method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2. Write the answer as a mixed number
To find a rational number between 2 and 2/14 using the given method of adding the numbers together and dividing by 2, we add the two numbers:
2 + 2/14
First, we need to make the denominators of the fraction the same. Since 2 can be written as 28/14, we have:
28/14 + 2/14
Adding the numerators, we get:
(28 + 2)/14 = 30/14
Now, we divide this sum by 2:
(30/14) รท 2 = (30/14) * (1/2)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
30/28 = 15/14
The final result is 15/14, which can be written as a mixed number as 1 1/14.
