\begin{gathered} \text{Sum} \\ 2.4+3.6=6 \\ \text{Difference} \\ 10\text{ }(1)/(2)-\text{ 4 }(1)/(2) \\ 10\text{ }(1)/(2)=(10\cdot2+1)/(2)=(21)/(2) \\ \text{ 4 }(1)/(2)=(4\cdot2+1)/(2)=(9)/(2) \\ 10\text{ }(1)/(2)-\text{ 4 }(1)/(2)=(21)/(2)-(9)/(2)=(21-9)/(2)=(12)/(2)=6 \\ \\ Product \\ -2\cdot-(6)/(2)=((-2)(-6))/(2)=(12)/(2)=6 \\ \\ Quotient \\ 3\text{ }(\cdot)/(\cdot)\text{ }(1)/(2)=(3\cdot2)/(1)=(6)/(1)=6 \\ \end{gathered}
