Which point is exactly midway between 5/12 and 7/12 on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1/2

The governing concept is the midpoint formula: the point exactly halfway between two real numbers is their arithmetic mean. For the endpoints 5/12 and 7/12, calculate M = [(5/12) + (7/12)]/2. Since the denominators are equal, the sum is 12/12 = 1; dividing by 2 gives M = 1/2. Therefore option B is correct. A distance check gives the same result: 1/2 = 6/12, so it is one twelfth to the right of 5/12 and one twelfth to the left of 7/12. Option A, 1/3 = 4/12, lies to the left of the first endpoint. Option C, 2/3 = 8/12, lies to the right of the second endpoint, and option D is farther right. Hence only B is exactly midway.
