Yes, two and a half is the same as 2.5. In decimal form, the fraction two and a half is represented as 2.5. This is because each whole number represents one unit, and the decimal point separates the whole number part from the fractional part.

Six Fourths (6/4) as a fraction would be renamed into a mixed number, which would be one and two fourths, or one and a half (1 1/2). Two fourths is equivalent to one half. By the way, a mixed number is a fraction consisting of a whole number and a proper fraction.
