Question 625297
Find the number that is 1/2 of the way from 1 3/4 to 4 5/12


{{{1&3/4}}} = {{{1&9/12}}} = {{{21/12}}}


{{{4&5/12}}} = {{{53/12}}}


Half-way point between {{{21/12}}} and {{{53/12}}} = {{{((53 - 21)/2)/12}}}, or {{{(32/2)/12}}}, or {{{16/12}}}


Adding {{{16/12}}} to {{{21/12}}} gives us: {{{37/12}}}, and adding {{{16/12}}} to {{{37/12}}} gives us: {{{53/12}}}


This shows that halfway between {{{21/12}}} or {{{1&9/12}}}, or {{{1&3/4}}} is the number {{{37/12}}}, or {{{highlight_green(3&1/12)}}}
