Question

What two numbers are located 3/8 of a unit from 1/2 on a number line

Answer 1

1/8 & 7/8

Explanation:

1) find common denominators

1/2=4/8

2) add or subtract 4/8 from 3/8, because your number is located 3/8 of a unit from 1/2

4/8-3/8=1/8

4/8+3/8=7/8

so the two numbers are 3/8&7/8

Answer 2

1/8 and 7/8

Explanation:

First convert 1/2 to 4/8.

Then, subtract and add 3/8

(4/8 - 3/8 = 1/8, 4/8 + 3/8 = 7/8)
