60+75 = 135.
135/2 = 67.5.
3/5*67.5 = 40.5.
135/2 = 67.5.
3/5*67.5 = 40.5.

(75+60)/2 = 67.5.
67.5*3/5 = 40.5.
67.5*3/5 = 40.5.

I didn't get it why did you multiply by 3.

@prahumac we multiply it by 3/5 of its mean dimension

Flaky aggregate is a aggregate having a size less than 60% of average size of the two aggregate.
So now (75+60)/2 = 67.5.
Now 60% of 67.5 is,
That is 67.5*(60/100) = 40.5.
So now (75+60)/2 = 67.5.
Now 60% of 67.5 is,
That is 67.5*(60/100) = 40.5.

If avg has be taken into account then according to me, as agg are retained on 60mm sieve size so it means that most of the agg are retained at 60 so we have to consider that value only rather than taking commutative of two sieve sizes isn't it?
Means (3/5) * 60 that comes 36mm.
Means (3/5) * 60 that comes 36mm.

Flakiness means 3/5 of mean size of aggregate, therefore it is 40.5.

Since we know.
Flakiness index= .6(3/5)* average size of aggregate((passing size+retained size)/2).
So it is 40.5mm.
Flakiness index= .6(3/5)* average size of aggregate((passing size+retained size)/2).
So it is 40.5mm.

Average of 75mm and 60 mm sieve is (75+60)/2=67.5.
For flaky if its minimum dimension is less than 3/5 of 67.5 i.e. 67.5*(3/5) = 40.5mm.
For flaky if its minimum dimension is less than 3/5 of 67.5 i.e. 67.5*(3/5) = 40.5mm.

Flakiness means 60%(3/5) of avg size of particles.
