Answer:

-3.75

Explanation:

In order to find the rational number between -4 and -7/2, we need to follow two simple steps. (Same as finding the average).

1. Add the two numbers together

2. Divide the sum of them by 2

And there! You get the midpoint! :D

Now, let's solve... -4 - 7/2 = -7.5 <-- Adding them together

-7.5 / 2 = -3.75 <-- Dividing the sum by two and getting the result

After adding the numbers together and dividing them, we got -3.75 as the midpoint!
