Rahul converts 1/3 and 1/2 to a common denominator of 12 to find a number between them. How many integers can serve as numerators (over 12) for fractions strictly between 1/3 and 1/2?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/2 = 6/12. Strictly between, numerator can only be 5 (giving 5/12). So exactly 1 numerator works.
