:
Change 41%2F7 to 29%2F7 and 10 to 70%2F7
2%2F5%2870%2F7+-+29%2F7%29 = 2%2F5%2841%2F7%29 = 82%2F35

-----------------
The distance is 70/7 - 29/7 = 41/7
------
2/5 of that is 82/35
==============
There are 2 points:
29%2F7+%2B+82%2F35 and
10+-+82%2F35
================
It's stated from 4 1/7 to 10 which implies its closer to 4 1/7, but it should be explicitly stated.
