Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$8+\frac{3}{2}=5$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{16}{2}.

$$\frac{16}{2}+\frac{3}{2}=5$$

Since \frac{16}{2} and \frac{3}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{16+3}{2}=5$$

Add 16 and 3 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{2}=5$$

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

$$\frac{19}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$$

Compare \frac{19}{2} and \frac{10}{2}.
