Answer:

23.75

Explanation:

1. 23.8 - 23.7 = 0.1

2. 0.1 ÷ 2 = 0.05

3. 0.05 + 23.7 = 23.75

this works because to find the middle of two numbers (in this explanation 10 and 20), you have to subtract the larger one from the smaller one (20 - 10 = 10) and take your sum and divide it by two (10 ÷ 2 = 5) and then add it back to the smaller number (5 + 10 = 15 = 1/2 the midpoint of 10 and 20)
