Certainly! Let's find the number that is halfway between -0.5 and 2.3 step-by-step.
1. Understand the concept: To find the halfway point (or the midpoint) between two numbers, you essentially need to find the average of those two numbers.
2. Identify the two numbers: Here, the two numbers are -0.5 and 2.3.
3. Add the two numbers together:
[tex]\[
-0.5 + 2.3 = 1.8
\][/tex]
4. Divide the result by 2 to find the average:
[tex]\[
\frac{1.8}{2} = 0.9
\][/tex]
Hence, the number that is halfway between -0.5 and 2.3 is:
[tex]\[
0.9
\][/tex]
This is the halfway point between -0.5 and 2.3.
