So any two numbers, X and Y, when said "X over Y" implies in basic alegbra to divide X by Y.

Thus 10 over 6 is the same thing as saying 10/6, or "how many times does 6 go into the number 10".

We can simplfy the equation 10/6 to 5/3 by dividing both numbers by two.

5/3 is a fractionand since it works out to be 1.6 repeating (1.6666666.....), it is usually best to leave it in fraction form :)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
