f=\frac{1.44}{\left(R_1+2 R_2\right) C_{\mathrm{ext}}}=\frac{1.44}{(2.2 ~\mathrm{k} \Omega+9.4 ~\mathrm{k} \Omega) 0.022~ \mu \mathrm{F}}=5.64~\mathrm{kHz}

\text { Duty cycle }=\left(\frac{R_1+R_2}{R_1+2 R_2}\right) 100 \%=\left(\frac{2.2~ \mathrm{k} \Omega+4.7~ \mathrm{k} \Omega}{2.2 ~\mathrm{k} \Omega+9.4~ \mathrm{k} \Omega}\right) 100 \%=\mathbf{5 9 . 5 \%}
