The median price of a home in the Midwest was approximatley what fraction of the median selling price of a home in the West?

Re: Find the Median
Just over a half because 75K is half of 150K and if you make the 150K smaller in
the denominator and the 75K bigger in the numerator, then the fraction gets
bigger. That's why I say "over" a half. 76/147 is about 75/150.
