"rere fi'u mu" means 22 divided by 5.
Do you mean by "super" the binomial coefficient? If yes, it reads in  
Esperanto "n sur k".

No idea how to say that in lojban :)

"fi'u mu" means 1/5, having no connection to the following "ti" without  
further context.
"ti fi'u mu" should be correct, but there may be a way to say it with the  
"ti" pushed behind.

That doesn't seem to make sense in Esperanto. After "da" follows a plural,  
if it relates to countable things, otherwise it has to be something  
measurable e.g. in kilograms, litres, or at least some abstract property.

Hope I got the lojban bits about right, I'm a junior here myself ;)

If unsure about anything Esperanto, I recommend the forums on lernu.net.

mu'o mi'e feliks.
