What is a rational number halfway between 6/7 and 5/6

Well hmmm let's see hmm
our denominators are 7 and 6

so.. their LCD or a GCF for that matter..  is just 7 * 6 or 42

so let's make both fractons the same denominator,
that is, the LCD of 42

for the 7, we need to multiply by 6
we do that to the denominator, we have to
also do it for its numerator

for the 6, we multiply by 7
we do that for the denominator, we need to
also do it for its numerator

so, we end up with 
\bf \begin{cases}
\cfrac{6}{7}\cdot \cfrac{6}{6}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 6}{7\cdot 6}\implies \cfrac{36}{42}
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{5}{6}\cdot \cfrac{7}{7}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 7}{6\cdot 7}\implies \cfrac{35}{42}
\end{cases}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{so.. hmmm they're next to one another, kinda}\\\\
\textit{let us use }\frac{35}{42}+0.5\textit{ or half a bit more}\\\\
\textit{pass 35 and below 36}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{35}{42}+0.5\implies \cfrac{35}{42}+\cfrac{1}{2}

so.. that rational is, passed 35/42 and  before 36/42
so. is between, half-way really, since we used 1/2

now, we could have use some other fraction of 1,
say 1/25 or 1/7 or 3/23  and those would have also worked,
because they're passed 35/42 and before 36/42

Find a number halfway between 2 1/2 and 1 1/3
kvasek [131]

Answer:

23/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 = 5/2(3/3) = 15/6

1 1/3 = 4/3(2/2) = 8/6

15/6 - 8/6 = 7/6

7/6(1/2) = 7/12

16/12 + 7/12 = 23/12

Please explain to me how it was solved.​
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Fraction: 1/ 5 n= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find n first you cross multiply : 2/ 10 * n / 35

= So we multiply 10 and n ( answer = 10n)

= Then 2 and 35 ( multiply) ( answer = 70)

Now algebra

70 = 10n

Divide both sides by 10

10n / 10 = 70 / 10

n = 7

The fraction becomes 7 / 35

When this is simplified the answer is 1 / 5

To simplify you divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 25 ( GCF )
