If a and b are any numbers, then halfway between them is the average a+b2=(12)(a+b).

So halfway between 12 and 34 is

(12)((12)+(34))

=(12)((24)+(34))

=(12)(2+34)

=(12)(54)

=1524

=58

58

Explanation:

Here is another method of finding a fraction halfway between 2 others.

Convert both fractions to a common denominator.

12and34 can be shown as: 24and34

212 is obviously halfway between 2and3, but the fraction
2124 is not comfortable..

Use another denominator: Let's try eighths.

12and34 are the same as

48and68

5 is halfway between 4and6(4+62=5)

So the fraction we want is 58
