Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
what you would be lookikng for is 1/4 minus 1/6 divided by 2.

1/6 is equivalent to 2/12

1/4 is equivalent to 3/12

3/12 minus 2/12 equals 1/12

1/12 divided by 2 is equal to 1/24

if you add 1/12 to 1/6 then you will find your number.

1/6 is the same as 4/24.

4/24 plus 1/24 is equal to 5/24.

your anser is selection (c).

since you added 1/24 to get halfway, then you add 1/24 again and you will be all the way.

5/24 + 1/24 = 6/24 which is the same as 1/4.

your answer is confirmed to be halfway between 1/6 and 1/4.
