Could someone tell me where they got 6 from? My understanding is that in a fraction (if this is one), the middle dividing line means that the number on top is the whole, and takes 'superiority' over the bottom number a bit like how we read left to right and each next word in the sentence fills out the picture we are trying to describe more. So 3/2 means that only 2 parts of the 3 whole have been shown? The middle line also represents dividing the two numbers? But I'm guessing they perform 3x2 = 6, so does this mean the middle line can really represent any operation? Sorry if this doesn't make sense I essentially have no meaningful education in mathematics at all.
