@hartnn
hartnn (hartnn):
as per Michele's hint,
the 2 1/2 is divided into 20 1/8ths.
so what does = 20/8?
7 1/2 or 6 2/3 ??
OpenStudy (petlovers123):
is it 7 1/2
hartnn (hartnn):
7 1/2 = 7+ 1/2 = (7*2+1)/2 = 15/2
so no

hartnn (hartnn):
why assume when you can be sure?
6+2/3 = (6*3+2)/3 = (18+2)/3 = 20/3
OpenStudy (petlovers123):
