A missing fraction. on a number line is located exactly halfway between 3 out of 6 and 5 out of 6 what is the missing fraction


Sagot :

The number halfway between 3/6 and 5/6 is 4/6.

Answer: [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] on number line =[tex]\frac{5}{6}\frac{3}{6}=\frac{5-3}{6}=\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Since the missing fraction is on the halfway, therefore the distance between the missing fraction and the given fractions will be [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

The missing fraction=[tex]\frac{3}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] is the missing fraction between [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] on number line.
