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
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.
