Solution:
John was standing in the middle of rational numbers 1 and 2.
John was standing = ( 1 + 2)/2 = 3/2
Sam was standing in the middle of 1/4, and the number on which John was standing.
=> Sam was standing in the middle of rational numbers 1/4 and 3/2
Sam was standing = ( 1/4+ 3/2)/2 = (1 + 6) / 8 = 7/8
Tom was standing in the middle of and the number on which John was standing.
