To find a number between both decimals, what you can do is take the average of both numbers.
We have then:

Rewriting we have:

Therefore, the decimal obtained is a number between 0.4 and 0.5
Answer:
a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5 is:

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.
