a.
The numerator indicates the total number of letters to be used.
There will be «math style=¨font-family:Verdana¨ xmlns=¨http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML¨»«mstyle mathsize=¨14px¨»«mn»5«/mn»«/mstyle»«/math» letters.
The denominator indicates the number of letters that will repeat and how many times each repeats.
