5 1/2 = 5 + 1 / 2 = 10 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 11 / 2
2 1/3 = 2 + 1 / 3 = 6 / 3 + 1 / 3 = 7 / 3
5 1/2 /2 1/3 = ( 11 / 2 ) / ( 7 / 3 ) =
11 * 3 / 2 * 7 = 33 / 14
33 / 14 = 28 / 14 + 5 / 14 = 2 + 5 / 14 = 2 5/14
Average number of pages = 33 / 14 = 2 5/14
2 1/3 = 2 + 1 / 3 = 6 / 3 + 1 / 3 = 7 / 3
5 1/2 /2 1/3 = ( 11 / 2 ) / ( 7 / 3 ) =
11 * 3 / 2 * 7 = 33 / 14
33 / 14 = 28 / 14 + 5 / 14 = 2 + 5 / 14 = 2 5/14
Average number of pages = 33 / 14 = 2 5/14
Thank you!
