Starting at middle E with a frequency of 328 cps, find the fequency of the note five half-steps above middle E.
---------------
That's the note A.
A C# E is a major triad, so A:E = 4:6 --> A below E @ 328 is 328*4/6
The E an octave up is 2x that, = 328*4/3 Hz
=~ 437.33 Hz
===============
Another approach:
Each half-note = root%2812%2C2%29
A = 328%2Aroot%2812%2C2%5E5%29
A =~ 437.83 Hz
