How many ways the letters of word fraction be arranged so that no two vowels are together?

How many ways $INSTRUCTOR$ can be arranged such that it has two consecutive vowels?(Three consecutive vowels are not counted i.e $V1V2V3$ is not counted).

I was trying to solve this problem in a different way. But I got a mismatch in the answer. Following is my solution

INSTRUCTOR has three vowels $I,U$ and $O$.

Lets arrange the three vowels like this

_ V1V2 _ V3 _

The above representation shows V1,V2,V3 as vowels and "_" as consonants.

We have total 7 consonants which can fill all these three holes(refereeing to "_").

There must be at least one consonant between V1V2 and V3, else three vowels will come together.

It can be written like this:

$X_1+X_2+X_3=7$

$X_1\ge0,X_2\ge1,X_3\ge0$

This will give result $C(8,2)=28$

We can arrange these 3 vowels in $3!$ ways. Again we can also interchange the position of $V_1,V_2$ and $V_3$ like this.

_V3_V1V2_

So we have total $(28)(3!)(2)$ ways of arranging three vowels. Now the other 7 consonants can be arranged in $\frac{(7!)}{(2!)(2!)}$ ways.

So answer should be $$\frac{(28)(3!)(2)(7!)}{(2!)(2!)}$$

Given answer $$\frac{(64)(3!)(7!)}{(2!)(2!)}$$

What's wrong here?

Help appreciated :)

total ways in which the letters of the word FRACTION can be arranged = 8! = 40320
vowels : A I O ( let us consider them as 1 letter instead of 3 letters and let this new letter be * )
consonants : F R C T N
now the new word thus formed will be : * F R C T N
the letters of this new word can be arranged in 6! ways. not only that * can arrange itself in 3! ways 
so the total ways in which all the vowels are together = 6! x 3! = 4320
so total words that can be formed so that no two vowels are together = 40320 - 4320 = 36000

How many vowels are in the word fraction?

This is Expert Verified Answer Fraction consists of 8 letters which has 3 vowels (a, I, o) and rest 5 are consonants. It can be -F- R- C- T- N so that no 2 vowels are together. Now 3 vowels can fill these 6 places in (6,3) ways.

What fraction of letters are vowels?

Two of those letters, or 2/6 of the letters, are vowels, and four of the letters, or 4/6, are consonants.

How many different words can be formed from the letter combine so that no two vowels are together?

The three vowels can be arranged in three ways: AAE, AEA, EAA. Hence, the number of such arrangements is 5!

How many arrangements are there where no two vowels are next to each other?

ways. In total we have (63)×3! ×5! =14400 ways.
