I would convert the 1/3 into a number over 6 1/3 = ?/6

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

2/6

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Now we can use the midpoint formula, which is adding 2/6 and 5/6, then diving by 2. What would that be?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

7/6

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Now we divide that fraction by 2

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

is 7/12 the answer?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Sounds good

OpenStudy (gokuporter):
