To find the fraction of 6 that 1 1/2 represents, we first convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction, which is 3/2. Then, we divide 3/2 by 6. To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor, so 3/2 ÷ 6 is the same as 3/2 x 1/6, which simplifies to 1/4. Therefore, 1 1/2 is 1/4 of 6.

11/2 out of 6 is not an easy fraction to visualise.

However, by doubling both the top and bottom it becomes (2 x 11/2 =) 3 out of (2 x 6 =) 12.

This is now easy to visualise as 3/12 = 1/4 (by dividing top and bottom by 3).
