Don't put numerators and denominators on separate lines.  Put "/" between
them.

Salman bought 5 2/3 kg chicken. He used 3/4th of it to make curry. He fried
1/2 of the remaining chicken. How much chicken did he use for making curry
and how much for frying?

Salman bought 5 2/3 kg chicken. He used 3/4th of it to make curry.
 
%283%2F4%29%285%262%2F3%29%22%22=%22%22%283%2F4%29%2817%2F3%29%22%22=%22%22%28cross%283%29%2F4%29%2817%2Fcross%283%29%29%22%22=%22%2217%2F4%22%22=%22%224%261%2F4kg. for curry.

So the amount remaining was 5%262%2F3-17%2F4%22%22=%22%2217%2F3-17%2F4%22%22=%22%2268%2F12-51%2F12%29%22%22=%22%2217%2F12%29kg.
He fried 1/2 of the remaining chicken.
 
%2817%2F12%29%281%2F2%29%22%22=%22%2217%2F24ths of a kg. for frying.
