Explanation
To find the average, we need to convert each fraction to a decimal, add them up, and then divide by the number of fractions.
Here are the fractions converted to decimals:
- 1/2 = 0.5
- 5/6 = 0.83 (rounded to two decimal places)
- 3/4 = 0.75
5/12 = 0.42 (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, let's add them up:
0.5 + 0.83 + 0.75 + 0.42 = 2.5
Finally, let's divide by the number of fractions (4):
2.5 ÷ 4 = 0.625
To convert this back to a fraction, we get:
0.625 = 5/8
