Question

The number halfway between ⅓ and ⅙ is ___. Give reason

for your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Formula used:-

Let the given numbers be x and y

therefore,

$their \: midway \: number = \frac{x + y}{2}$

Solution:-

Let the numbers be x and y

such that

$x = \frac{1}{3} \\ y = \frac{1}{6}$

let the number in between them be a

therefore,

$a = \frac{ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} }{2} = \frac{ \frac{3}{6} }{2} = \frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

Hence, the required number is 1/4
