How many odd numbers between 50 and 55? You could just make a list of all the odd numbers between 50 and 55 and then count them, but what fun would that be?
Instead, we have created this simple process with a small formula to calculate exactly how many odd numbers there are between 50 and 55.
We start by determining the first odd number and last odd number between 50 and 55. The numbers between 50 and 55 start with 51 and end with 54. That means that the first odd number is 51 and the last odd number is 53.
Now you add 2 to the difference of the last odd number and the first odd number, and then divide the sum by 2. Here is the formula and the answer to "How many odd numbers between 50 and 55?"
N = (Last - First + 2) ÷ 2
N = (53 - 51 + 2) ÷ 2
N = 4 ÷ 2
N = 2
