Solution Steps

Expand \frac{1.5}{6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\left(10-\frac{15}{60}\right)\times 6=5$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.

$$\left(10-\frac{1}{4}\right)\times 6=5$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{40}{4}.

$$\left(\frac{40}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\right)\times 6=5$$

Since \frac{40}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{40-1}{4}\times 6=5$$

Subtract 1 from 40 to get 39.

$$\frac{39}{4}\times 6=5$$

Express \frac{39}{4}\times 6 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{39\times 6}{4}=5$$

Multiply 39 and 6 to get 234.

$$\frac{234}{4}=5$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{234}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{117}{2}=5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{117}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$$

Compare \frac{117}{2} and \frac{10}{2}.

$$\text{false}$$
