Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

  • find the fraction which is exactly halfway between 5/8 and 2/3

to find :

  • find the fraction which is exactly halfway

solution :

  • There are millions of rational numbers

  • between 5/8 and 2/3. In fact there are infinitely many of them.

  • But to find one is sometimes a bit tricky,

  • since they tend to play hide an seek.

  • So: in order to get a better view where we are, we convert both to fractions with same denominator 3*8=24.

  • Then 5/8 becomes 15/24 and 2/3 becomes 16/24.

  • Too bad, no obvious term in between.

  • So extend one step further:

  • 5/8 = 15/24-30/48

  • 2/3=16/24-32/48

  • Her you go: 31/48 between 30/48 and 32/48.
