The number that is halfway between one and one half (1½) and one (1) is one and one quarter (1¼)
1/4 is 0.25 1/3 s 0.33 1/2 is 0.50 1/3 is between 1/2 and 1/4 but not halfway halfway would be the average of 1/2 and 1/4 and would be 0.375 = 3/8ths
A quarter is 1/4 so half of quarter is 1/4X1/2=1/8
the answer is 1/8th
3 and 3/8 Both numbers have a 3, so the halfway point is the average of the fractions. Add them and divide by two: 1/4 + 1/2 = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4 and half of that is 3/8 3 and 3/8 is 1/8 more than 3 1/4 and 1/8 less than 3 1/2
The number that is halfway between one and one half (1½) and one (1) is one and one quarter (1¼)
Halfway between one and a quarter and one and three quarters lies one and a half.
A quarter 1/4
1/4 is 0.25 1/3 s 0.33 1/2 is 0.50 1/3 is between 1/2 and 1/4 but not halfway halfway would be the average of 1/2 and 1/4 and would be 0.375 = 3/8ths
Three Eighths. 3/8, 3:8, three over eight.
2.5
3/4
The distance between 1 and .5 is (1 - .5)/2 which is .25. Add that to .5 to get the number halfway between the points: .5 + .25 = .75.So the point halfway between is .75 or 3/4.
Half of the Moon you cannot see because it faces away from Earth. Half of the side you could see is in darkness at "half Moon". That makes 3/4 of the Moon invisible and 1/4 visible. Hence "a quarter Moon" is visible. Another viewpoint: No, that's not really the answer. This is the answer: Let's start with "New Moon". Later, at "Full Moon", the Moon is halfway through its cycle of phases. Halfway between these two phases we see a half Moon. That's called the "first quarter" phase, because the Moon is a quarter of the way through its phases. So, that's why we see the half Moon at a "quarter" phase. It does cause confusion.
Half of a quarter means half times a quarter. 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8 The answer is 1/8
A quarter is 1/4 so half of quarter is 1/4X1/2=1/8
the answer is 1/8th
