Meena wants to insert 3 equally spaced rational numbers between 1/4 and 1/2. The common gap between consecutive numbers is the total distance divided by 4. What is this common gap?

Question

Accepted Answer

1/16. Distance = 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4. With 3 numbers inserted there are 4 equal gaps, so each gap = 1/4/4 = 1/16.
