To find a number between 1/3 and 1/2, Aman adds the numerators and adds the denominators: 1+1/3+2 = 2/5. Is 2/5 really between them?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, 2/5 lies between them. 1/3 0.33, 2/5 = 0.4, 1/2 = 0.5. So yes. For positive fractions this trick always gives a number in between (but it is not the halfway number).

To find a number between $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ , Aman adds the numerators and adds the denominators: $\frac{1 + 1}{3 + 2} = \frac{2}{5}$ . Is $\frac{2}{5}$ really between them?
