Question

What is the average of $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$?

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{9}$
• C. $\frac{2}{9}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{4}$

Given fractions are $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$

$\therefore$ average of $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}{2}$

$=\frac{2+1}{6\times 2}$

$=\frac{3}{12}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$
