Question

How do you find the fraction between two fractions 1/4 and 3/5?

Answer 1

`1/2` is just one possible answer.

Explanation:

Well we can probably better visualize this if we convert each fraction to a decimal.

`1/4->0.25`

`3/5->0.6`

So now we ask ourselves, what decimal(s) is in between `0.25` and `0.6`?

Well, in reality there are infinitely many but that's a topic for another day. All we need is one decimal:

Here's one!

`0.5` is in between `0.25` and `0.6`

Now we just convert `0.5` into a fraction and that's `1/2`!
