Well, 6/ 4 = 1.5... But if you are looking for the fraction then you would do:
SO what I got Was 1 1/2 this is why: :)
1. 1.5 = 1.5 / 1
Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 1 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 1 10's
2. Numerator: (N)
N = 1.5 × 10 = 15
Denominator: (D)
D = 1 × 10 = 10
N / D = 15 / 10
Then you want to simplify your fraction from 15/10 = 3/2 = 1 1 / 2 ! :)
= 15/10
= 3/2
= 1 1/2
The best way to eliminate wordiness is the following:
<em> The audience gave the guest speaker a standing ovation.</em>
Wordiness is the use of more words than necessary to express an idea. The phrase <em>"to give a standing ovation"</em> already comprises the ideas of "rose up" and <em>"applauded"</em>. Thus, they are not necessary in the sentence. Replacing those words with the words <em>"gave the guest speaker a standing ovation"</em> is the right way to eliminate wordiness in that sentence.
