I tried to make it so that no two fractions were equal to each other, and none were exactly 1/4 or 1/2. Just keep adding 1 to the denominator, and see how many fit between 1/4 and 1/2, that don’t have equivalents that have been used before. So, I didn’t list some fractions, which would have been equivalent to fractions with a lower denominator already listed.
By between, do you mean exactly half-way between or within the interval [1/4, 1/2]
because if it’s the latter, there are an infinite number of ’em.
If you are looking for a fraction a/b exactly half-way between p/q and r/s say. then
a/b = (1/2) * (ps + qr)/qs
So, with p/q = 1/4 and r/s = 1/2
a/b = (1/2) * [(1*2 + 4*1) / (4*2)]
= (1/2)*[(2 + 4)/8]
= (1/2)(6/8)
= 6/16
= 3/8
There are infinity possible answers. 1/3 and 3/8 have already been suggested, but there are infinity others.
