The distance between points (a) and (b) is the number of units between the points.
<u>Formula for halfway two</u>
Assume the lesser point is point (a)
To locate the halfway between points (a) and (b)
- Calculate the absolute difference between points (a) and (b) i.e. |a - b|
- Divide the difference into halves
- Add the value of one half to point (a).
The above steps is represented as:
Using the above formula, the halfway point between 5 and 11 would be 8
The formula can be used to calculate the distance between negative points, and absolute values are used to determine the number of units between the points
<u>Real world circumstance</u>
The formula can be used to calculate the halfway distance between two points on a track
<u>Fractional distance</u>
To determine the fractional distance, we simply replace the 1/2 in the original formula with the appropriate fraction.
Take for instance, three-fourths from (a) to (b) would be:
