Question 32034
Hello!
First of all, we must find how "long" is the way from 3/5 to 2 2/3. In order to do this, we subtract the former from the latter (notice that 2 2/3 is the same as 8/3):

{{{8/3 - 3/5 = (40-9)/15 = 31/15}}}

So, 3/4 of this difference is:

{{{(3/4)(31/15)= 93/60 = 31/20}}}

Therefore, the number that is 3/4 of the wat from 3/5 to 8/3 must be:

{{{3/5 + 31/20 =(12+31) /20 = 43/20}}}


I hope this helps!
