Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Answer:
`(4)/(6)`

Explanation:

The difference between
`(3)/(6)` and
`(5)/(6)` on number line =
`(5)/(6)(3)/(6)=(5-3)/(6)=(2)/(6)`

Since the missing fraction is on the halfway, therefore the distance between the missing fraction and the given fractions will be
`(1)/(2)*(2)/(6)=(1)/(6)`

The missing fraction=
`(3)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(4)/(6)`

Hence,
`(4)/(6)` is the missing fraction between
`(3)/(6)` and
`(5)/(6)` on number line.
