Question

Find a fraction between 1/5 and 1/4

Answer 1

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.
