Answer:
To find the mean (average) of a set of numbers, we add them together and divide by the number of items in the set.
The first step is to convert all the fractions into a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 3, 3, and 4 is 12.
2 1/3 = 7/3
3 2/3 = 11/3
5 1/4 = 21/4
Now we can add these numbers together:
7/3 + 11/3 + 21/4 = (7 + 11 + 21) / 3 = 39/3 = 13
There are three numbers, so we divide by 3.
Mean = 13/3 = 4 1/3
So the mean of 2 1/3, 3 2/3 and 5 1/4 is 4 1/3.
