Well, we know that

-- 6 cows are greater than 1 cow

-- 6 trucks are greater than 1 truck

-- 6 candy canes are greater than 1 candy cane

So we're pretty sure that if you have a bunch of boxes with
the same thing in every box, then 6 boxes are going to have
more of it than 1 box has.

Great. That always works. It doesn't matter whether the boxes
all have cookies, hamburgers, puppies, or 2/5 in them. 6 boxes
always have more than 1 box has.

Are you comfortable with this reasoning ?
