Question

Find the mixed number halfway between 6.4 and 6½. Give
your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

6.45

Explanation:

I am not staring at zero. I am starting at 6.4, so I take 6.4 and add that to half way between 6.5 and 6.4.

6.4 + 1/2(6.5-6.4) Combine in the parentheses

6.4 + 1/2(.5) Take half of .5

6.4 + .05 add

6.45
