To find a number that is less than 909 and greater than 868, you can consider any number that falls between these two numbers.
Here's a step-by-step guide to find one such number:
1. Identify the lower bound: The lower bound in this case is 868. This means that our number must be greater than 868.
2. Identify the upper bound: The upper bound is 909. So our number must also be less than 909.
3. To find a number comfortably between the two, you could simply add 1 to the lower bound to get a number that's certainly greater than 868, which would be 869, or you could subtract 1 from the upper bound to get a number that's certainly less than 909, which would be 908.
However, to find the midpoint, which is a number that lies halfway between two bounds, you do as follows:
a. Add the lower bound to the upper bound:
868 + 909 = 1777
b. Divide the sum by 2 to find the midpoint:
1777 / 2 = 888.5
The number 888.5 is a decimal that is exactly between 868 and 909. However, since we typically look for whole numbers, you can either round down to 888 or round up to 889.
So, to answer the question, we can take the number 888 as an acceptable solution, since it is greater than 868 and less than 909. There are of course many other numbers that also satisfy the condition, such as 870, 880, or 900, to name a few.
