Insert K arithmetic means betweens the given numbers.
11/3 and 6; k=4
----------------------
Difference = 6 - 11/3 = 18/3 - 11/3 = 7/3
----
Solve 4x = 7/3
x = 7/12
----
Sequence:
11/3
11/3 + 7/12 = 44/12 + 7/12 = 51/12
51/12 + 7/12 = 58/12
58/12 + 7/12 = 65/12
65/12 + 7/12 = 72/12 = 6

start with : 11/3
convert it to 55/15
first arithmetic mean: add 7/15 = 62/15
second arithmetic mean: add 7/15 = 69/15
third arithmetic mean: add 7/15 = 76/15
fourth arithmetic mean: add 7/15 = 83/15
ending with: 83/15 + 7/15 = 90/15 = 6
