Question

Median of 1/2 5/8 1/6 3/4 7/12

Answer 1

7/12 is the median

Explanation:

Given:

1/2, 5/8, 1/6, 3/4, 7/12

To find:

The median

MEDIAN:

The middle part of the value from the given data

Formula:

(n+1)÷2

Solution:

==> Arrange the given data in ascending order

==> Convert fractions into decimal

==> 1/2 = 0.5

==> 5/8 = 0.625

==> 1/6 = 0.166

==> 3/4 = 0.75

==> 7/12 = 0.5833

==> 0.166, 0.5, 0.5833, 0.625, 0.75

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

                                        |      |       |        |      |

                                        1     2      3       4     5

==> n=5

==> Apply n in the formula

==> (n+1)÷ 2

==> (5+1)÷ 2

==> 6÷ 2

==> 3

==> The 3rd value in the ascending order is the median

==> 7/12 is the median
