Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only consumers of ice cream cones in a particular market. The following table shows their
monthly demand schedules: Price Paolo’s Quantity Demanded Sharon’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones) 1 8 16 2 5 12 3 3 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Paolo’s demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon’s demand for ice cream cones using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for ice cream cones using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.

An easy way to think of something being divided by a fraction is by turning the fraction into a decimal. In this case, it's 5 1/2, which is the same as 5.5. So, you can just calculate 26 / 5.5, by hand, or on a calculator, and the answer is 4.727.
