For mediant in music, see mediant . Mediant should not be confused with median . In mathematics , the mediant of two vulgar fraction fraction s math frac a c text and frac b d math is math frac a b c d . math that is to say, the numerator and denominator of the mediant are the sums of the numerators and denominators of the given fractions, respectively. It is sometimes called the freshman sum , as it is a very common mistake in the usual Fraction mathematics Addition addition of fractions . In general, this is an operation on fractions rather than on rational numbers . That is to say, for two rational numbers q sub 1 sub , q sub 2 sub , the value of the mediant depends on how the rational numbers are expressed using Equivalent fractions integer pairs . For example, the mediant of 1 1 and 1 2 is 2 3, but the mediant of 2 2 and 1 2 is 3 4.

The third above the final, A corresponding to the reciting tone or tenor of the sixth psalm tone was regarded as having an important melodic function in this mode.
