#= 11/32#

Explanation:

There are infinitely many fractions between these two, so I will assume you mean exactly half way between them.

One method is to average them, which involves adding them together and then dividing by 2.
You need a common denominator first.

#(1/8 + 9/16)div 2#

#= (2+9)/16 div 2#

#= 11/16 xx 1/2#

#= 11/32#
