A missing fraction. on a number line is located exactly halfway between 3 out of 6 and 5 out of 6 what is the missing fraction

Verified Answer :

The number halfway between 3/6 and 5/6 is 4/6.

Answer: \(\frac{4}{6}\)


Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between \(\frac{3}{6}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) on number line =\(\frac{5}{6}\frac{3}{6}=\frac{5-3}{6}=\frac{2}{6}\)

Since the missing fraction is on the halfway, therefore the distance between the missing fraction and the given fractions will be \(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\)

The missing fraction=\(\frac{3}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}\)

Hence, \(\frac{4}{6}\) is the missing fraction between \(\frac{3}{6}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) on number line.
