#6/4=1.5#

Reduce #6/4# to its lowest terms

#6/4=3/2#

As you know if you change #3/2# to mixed fractions it would be
#1 1/2# which is the same as #1+1/2#

#1/2# is 0.5

So #1+0.5# is #1.5#

6 can be split into 4+6

So #6/4color(white)("d")=color(white)("d")(4+2)/4color(white)("d") =color(white)("d") 4/4+2/4color(white)("d")=color(white)("d")1+1/2#

We know that #1/2->0.5# giving
