Given:
½ and 5/6
Determine the value halfway between the two numbers.
Solution:
In order to determine the value easily, we simply need to change first the fraction to decimal. This can be done by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
½
= 0.5
5/6
=0.8333…
Add the two values and divide the sum by 2.
= 0.5 + 0.83333…
=0.66666
or
⅔
Final answer
= ⅔
