Question

Find the median of :
3/4 , 2/3 , 1/2 , 5/6 , 7/8 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the median for 3/5,2/3,1/2,5/6,7/8

First make the denominator of all fractions same

Lcm of all denominator is (3/5,2/3,1/2,5/6,7/8) 12

Ascending order : 1/2,2/3,3/4,5/6,7/8 = 12

so, median = 7/12

Answer 2

Answer:

the median of 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 5/6, 7/8 ​is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 5/6, 7/8 ​

• Converting to decimal system

                3/4 = 0.75

               2/3 = 0.67

               1/2 =  0.5

              5/6 =  0.83

              7/8 = 0.87

• Arranging in the ascending order

           1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8

• Finding the middle term

             Total Number of measurements, n = 5

                                 Middle term of data = (n+1)/2 th term

       ⇒                                                          = (5+1)/2 th term    

       ⇒                                                         = 3rd term = 3/4

median is the middle term of ascending or descending order of a data.

Hence, the median is 3/4
