Algebra.Com's Answer #579066 by macston(5194)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the halfway point, find a common denominator, add the numbers, and divide by two. \n" ); document.write( "(7/11)(4/4)=28/44 \n" ); document.write( "(3/4)(11/11)=33/44) \n" ); document.write( "Find the sum: \n" ); document.write( "(28/44)+(33/44)=61/44 \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 2: \n" ); document.write( "(61/44)(1/2)=61/88 ANSWER: The number halfway between 7/11 and 3/4 is 61/88 \n" ); document.write( "CHECK: \n" ); document.write( "(28/44)(2/2)=56/88 \n" ); document.write( "61/88-56/88=5/88 \n" ); document.write( "(33/44)(2/2)=66/88 \n" ); document.write( "66/88-61/88=5/88 \n" ); document.write( "61/88 is 5/88 from 7/11 and 5/88 from 3/4, so it is the halfway point. \n" ); document.write( " |
