\bf 5.6\ to\ 4\implies 5.6:4\implies \cfrac{5.6}{4} \\\\ now \begin{cases} 5.6\to \cfrac{56}{10} \\\\ \textit{one decimal, one zero at the bottom, toss the dot} \end{cases} \\\\\\ \cfrac{5.6}{4}\implies \cfrac{(56)/(10)}{4}\implies \cfrac{(56)/(10)}{(4)/(1)}\implies \cfrac{56}{10}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \boxed{?}
