Question

Write a fraction with a decimal value between 1/2 and 3/4. Write both the fraction and the quivelent decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

5/8 and the decimal from is 0.625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the middle value, which is between 1/2 and 3/4. To find that it is necessary to 1) add both fractions and then 2)divide by 2.

1) Adding both fractions (remember to find Lowest common denominator):

$\frac{1}{2} +\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{4} +\frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$

2) Dividing by two:

$\frac{5}{4} : 2 = \frac{5}{4}  *\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5*1}{4*2} = \frac{5}{8}$

The decimal of that fraction is 0.625, obtained when dividing 5 by 8.
