Given:

Five and one half of 2 and one third.

To find:

The number for the given statement.

Solution:

Five and one half =
5(1)/(2)

2 and one third =
2(1)/(3)

The given statement is five and one half of 2 and one third.

Here, the word "of" is used for multiplication.

So, the expression for the given statement is:


5(1)/(2)* 2(1)/(3)


=(10+1)/(2)* (6+1)/(3)


=(11)/(2)* (7)/(3)


=(77)/(6)

Therefore, the required number is
(77)/(6).
