Help with overlapping partitions?

Hi. Gparted has informed me that I have overlapping partitions. I have some linux experience but have not been really involved with it in a few years. I install a new distro if I have to type of involvement. I have a multi-booter so I have extended partitions. I think this complicates the sectors start and end so I really don't know how to make sense out of fdisk's out put. I am trying to get back up to speed on this and other linux tasks.

My question is, how do I tell where a partition starts and ends when there are extended partitions? Also, what does /dev/Ram mean?

Thanks for your expertise!
Fdisk output was redone. Sdc is flash drive
