Answer: \(\frac{7}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mid point 'c' between any two numbers 'a' and 'b' we apply the following rule:-
\(c=\frac{a+b}{2}\)
Now, the number is midway between 2/5 and 1 will be given by :-
\(\c=\frac{\frac{2}{5}+1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ c=\frac{\frac{7}{5}}{2}....\text{[by taking LCM]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ c=\frac{7}{2\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ c=\frac{7}{10}\)
Hence, the number is midway between 2/5 and 1 =\(\frac{7}{10}\)
