simply get the product of 2 and 1/2 by 1/7.

firstly, let's convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then multiply.

[tex]\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{7}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rock A weight}}{\cfrac{5}{14}}[/tex]
