What fraction is half way between 1/4&1/6 if it's not 1/5?

5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to know the value between 1/4 and 1/6, we have to add both values and divide them by 2.

1/4 1/6

o add the values they have to have the same denominator

A simple way to find one in common is to multiply both denominators with each other.

6 * 4 = 24

now we calculate the equivalent fractions for that denominator

1/4 * 6/6 = 6 / 24

1/6 * 4/4 = 4 / 24

finally we add and divide by 2 and get the value

(4/24 + 6/24) / 2 =

(10/24) / 2 =

5/24

as we can see the value is different from 1/5
