Answer:

14 : 21

Step-by-step explanation:

---> 2:3 ----> 2+3=5

---> Stick's length = 35 inches

For the first portion

2/5 x 35

2/1 x 7

= 14 inches

For the second portion

3/5 x 35

3/1 x 7

= 21 inches

To confirm: 14 + 21 = 35 inches

14 : 21

Divide both by 7

2 : 3

2 3/8 - 4 1/2 + 3 1/8 - (1/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions firstly.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \cfrac{19}{8}-\cfrac{9}{2}+\cfrac{25}{8}-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)19-(4)9+(1)25-(4)1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{19-36+25-4}{8} \\\\\\ \cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$
