One easy way to find a number between two numbers is to simply average the two given numbers. Ie add them up and divide by 2:




So the number 19%2F16, which is the mixed number 1%263%2F16, is in between the numbers 9%2F8 and 10%2F8


Other ways would involve you picking a number between 9 and 10, say 9.7, and writing that as a fraction over 8 like this: 9.7%2F8=%2897%2F10%29%2F8=%2897%2F10%29%2A%281%2F8%29=97%2F80

So 97%2F80, which is the mixed number 1%2617%2F80, is another number in between the numbers 9%2F8 and 10%2F8
