To find a fraction between 1/4 and 5/16, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find a common denominator.
To compare and find a fraction between two different denominators, it's helpful to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 16 is 16.
Step 2: Convert fractions to have a common denominator.
Convert both fractions, 1/4 and 5/16, to have a common denominator of 16:
1/4 becomes 4/16 (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4).
5/16 remains unchanged.
So, the fractions become 4/16 and 5/16.
Step 3: Find a fraction between the two fractions.
Since both fractions have the same denominator, you can find a fraction between them by finding a value for the numerator that lies within the range.
For example, you could choose a fraction with a numerator of 4 + 1 = 5. So, a fraction between 1/4 and 5/16 is 5/16.
Therefore, the fraction 5/16 is between 1/4 and 5/16.
Keep in mind that there could be multiple fractions between 1/4 and 5/16, but this method allows you to find one such fraction.
