Which benchmark is between 3/8 and 4/6
1 or 1/2
1/2
cuz after 3/8 is 4/8 which is equal to 1/2 and before 4/6 is 3/6 which is also equal to 1/2
To find the benchmark between 3/8 and 4/6, we need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator.
To do that, we find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 6, which is 24.
Now, let's convert the fractions:
3/8 = 9/24
4/6 = 16/24
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can determine the benchmark by finding the fraction that is exactly between the two. In this case, the benchmark is 1/2, as it lies halfway between 9/24 and 16/24.
To determine which benchmark is between 3/8 and 4/6, we need to find a common denominator for these fractions. The common denominator for 8 and 6 is 24 (8 multiplied by 3 and 6 multiplied by 4).
Now we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 24:
3/8 is equivalent to (3/8) x (3/3) = 9/24
4/6 is equivalent to (4/6) x (4/4) = 16/24
Since the numerator of 1 (which can be expressed as 24/24) is between 9/24 and 16/24, we can conclude that the benchmark between 3/8 and 4/6 is 1 or 1/2.
