find the number that is exactly halfway between 1/10 and 3/5

To find the number halfway between \( \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \frac{3}{5} \):

1. First, convert each fraction to a decimal:
   \[
   \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{5} = 0.6
   \]

2. To find the halfway point, calculate the average of these two numbers:
   \[
   \frac{0.1 + 0.6}{2} = \frac{0.7}{2} = 0.35
   \]

So, the number halfway between \( \frac{1}{10} \) and \( \frac{3}{5} \) is \( 0.35 \), which is also \(\frac{7}{20}\) in fraction form.
