from 2 1/3 to 4 1/6
The distance from 2 1/3 to 4 1/6 is found by
subtracting:
4 1/6 = 4 1/6 = 3 7/6
-2 1/3 = -2 2/6 = -2 2/6
------ ------ ------
1 5/6
3/4ths of this distance is found by multiplying:
3/4 × (1 5/6) = 3/4 × 11/6 = 33/24 = 11/8 = 1 3/8
Add this distance to 2 1/3
2 1/3 = 2 8/24
+1 3/8 = +1 9/24
------- ---------
3 17/24
That's the answer.
