Answer:

3/12 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what is between, we have to use the formula:

x + y= z

z/2 = midpoint!

So, we can do that with this number.

1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6. We could simplify it, but let’s keep it at 3/6

3/6 divided by 2 = 3/6 · 1/2 = 3/12

So, the midpoint would be 3/12.
