Find a rational number between`1/4 and 1/2.`

Explanation

To find a rational number between \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the fractions to have a common denominator.
The denominators of \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \) are 4 and 2, respectively. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 2 is 4. We can convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to have a denominator of 4.

\[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2}{4} \]
