Question

Let m,n,p, and q represent nonzero positive integers. find a number in terms of m,n,p, and q that is halfway between m/n and p/q.

Answer 1

This is the same as averaging. You add them and divide by 2.

((m/n) + (p/q))/2 would be a number in between m/n and p/q.

Do note that n and q must be nonzero, but luckily that is a given.

Answer 2

Answer:

it is given that,m,n,p, and q represent nonzero positive integers.

A number between a and b is given by

  $\frac{a+b}{2}$

where, a and b are rational numbers ,having denominator ≠0.

A number between

 $\frac{m}{n} \text{and} \frac{p}{q} \text{is equal to}\\\\=\frac{\frac{m}{n} + \frac{p}{q}}{2}\\\\=\frac{mq+np}{2nq}$
