What is halfway between 1/3 and 1/2

1/3 = 2/6

1/2 = 3/6

Since there is no integer between 2 and 3, we must do some more working out;

1/3 = 2/6 = 4/12

1/2 = 3/6 = 6/12

The numerators (4 and 6) are both whole numbers and we know that 5 is between them, meaning that;

5/12 is bigger than 4/12 but smaller than 6/12

5/12 is between 1/3 and 1/2
