Work Shown

6*5/8

30/8

(24+6)/8

24/8 + 6/8

3 + 3/4

3 & 3/4

This is a mixed number with the first "3" as the whole part, and the 3/4 is the fractional part. The & symbol means "and". Some textbooks will erase this symbol to write it like 3  3/4

If you are a visual learner, draw out 4 circles. Shade 3 of them fully to represent the whole part. Split the last circle into four equal pizza slices, and shade 3 of the slices, to represent the 3/4. Refer to the diagram below.
