rational · Answer

It looks like a midpoint between $5\dfrac{1}{4}$ and $5\dfrac{1}{2}$

whats the half way between a quarter and a half ?

rational · Answer

$$\large \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}}{2} = ?$$

anonymous · Answer

1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4

rational · Answer

yes take half of that : (3/4)/2 = 3/8

rational · Answer

anonymous · Answer

5.375
