Question 98163
what fraction lies exactly halfway between x over two and x over three
:
halfway between {{{x/2}}} and {{{x/3}}}
:
Put over a common denominator, and subtract:
 {{{3x/6}}} - {{{2x/6}}} = {{{x/6}}}; the difference between the two fractions
:
{{{1/2}}} * {{{x/6}}} = {{{x/12}}}; half the difference between the two fractions
:
Halfway value of the fraction would be:
{{{x/3}}} + {{{x/12}}} = {{{4x/12}}} + {{{x/12}}} = {{{5x/12}}}
