Rational Numbers: Division of Rational Number

The video tutorial explains how to find a number that lies in the middle between two given numbers. It introduces rules for calculating the midpoint by either adding half the distance to the smaller number or subtracting it from the larger number. An example is provided using fractions 1/6 and 7/6, demonstrating the calculation of the distance and finding the midpoint, which is 4/6.

What is the first step in finding a number that lies in the middle between two numbers?

• Multiply the two numbers.

• Put the smaller number first and add half the distance.

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

• Add the two numbers together.

In the example provided, which two numbers are used to find the midpoint?

• 1/3 and 2/3

• 1/6 and 7/6

• 3/6 and 4/6

• 2/6 and 5/6

What is the distance between the numbers 1/6 and 7/6?

• 1/6

• 6/6

• 1

• 7/6

How do you calculate the midpoint using the smaller number 1/6?

• Multiply 1/6 by the distance.

• Add half the distance to 1/6.

• Subtract the distance from 1/6.

• Add the distance to 1/6.

What is the result when you find the midpoint between 1/6 and 7/6?

• 3/6

• 5/6

• 6/6

• 4/6
