What is a real number between 3 2/5 and 3 3/5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it might help to think of them as fractions 3 2/5 is 17/5 and 3 3/5 is 18/5

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

There is always an Average if you are looking for "between".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can manipulate the improper fractions to make it easier to see. 17/5 * 2/2 and 18/5 * 2/2 are 34/10 and 36/10 and by looking at them clearly 35/10 is inbetween them so that would be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is just one way/solution but it is a correct solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thankyou for the help! :,)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem i also forgot to mention that you can reduce the 35/10 to 7/2

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

There are infinitely many correct solutions as the problem is stated. There is NOT just one correct answer or method.
