Answer 3

@Destinymasha @uri ... Anyone..? :(

Answer 4

1/2 is equivalent to 3/6

multiply top and bottom of 1/2 by 3 to get this

Answer 5

so asking "Which number is halfway between 1/2 and 5/6?"

is the same as asking "Which number is halfway between 3/6 and 5/6?"

Answer 6

So do I have to change every answer choice to /6?

Answer 7

not quite, we can reduce the result to get to the answer

Answer 8

Which number is halfway between 3/6 and 5/6?

Answer 9

4/6 is.

Answer 10

I'm so confused.

Answer 11

Interesting...

Answer 12

then you reduce 4/6 to get 2/3

notice how 4 and 6 have a common factor of 2

the common factor of 2 will cancel which is why 4/6 = 2/3
