You find the middle of two numbers by adding them together and dividing the result by two. This calculation determines the average, which represents the midpoint between the two numbers.
Here's a breakdown:
- Add the two numbers: Sum the two numbers for which you want to find the middle.
- Divide by two: Divide the sum obtained in the previous step by 2. The result is the middle point.
Formula:
Middle = (Number 1 + Number 2) / 2
Example:
Let's find the middle of 10 and 20.
- Add the numbers: 10 + 20 = 30
- Divide by two: 30 / 2 = 15
Therefore, the middle of 10 and 20 is 15.
Why this works:
Finding the middle in this way is essentially calculating the arithmetic mean (average) of the two numbers. The average represents the value that is equidistant from both numbers.
