8/10 and 1/6

Lcm: 30

(8×3 + 1×5)/30

29/30

Average = sum/n

Answer:

29/60

Explanation:

First add the two numbers

8/10 +1/6

8/10 simplifies to 4/5

4/5+1/6

Get a common denominator of 30

4/5 *6/6 = 24/30

1/6*5/5 = 5/30

Add them together

24/30 +5/30 = 29/30

Divide this by 2

29/30 *1/2 = 29/60

This is the rational number 1/2 between 8/10 and 1/6
