Find a fraction between 1/5 and 1/4

1 Answer

The easiest method to find a number between two endpoints is to use the average value.

We are given the endpoints 1/5 and 1/4. Let's calculate the average value:


m=((1)/(4)+(1)/(5))/(2)

Calculating:


m=((9)/(20))/(2)=(9)/(40)

The fraction 9/40 is between 1/5 and 1/4.

Note: there are an infinite number of possible answers to this question, we just selected the average.
