</pre>Salman bought 5 2/3 kg chicken. He used 3/4th of it to make curry.<pre> 
{{{(3/4)(5&2/3)}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{(3/4)(17/3)}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{(cross(3)/4)(17/cross(3))}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{17/4}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{4&1/4}}}kg. for curry.

So the amount remaining was {{{5&2/3-17/4}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{17/3-17/4}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{68/12-51/12)}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{17/12)}}}kg.
</pre>He fried 1/2 of the remaining chicken.<pre> 
{{{(17/12)(1/2)}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{17/24}}}ths of a kg. for frying.
