1 1/2c=6
3/2c=6
c=(2/3)(6)
c=12/3
c=4

1 (1)/(2) c = 6 \\ \\ (2 + 1)/(2) c = 6 \ / \ convert \ to \ improper \ fraction \\ \\ (3)/(2) c = 6 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ (3c)/(2) = 6 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 3c = 6 * 2 \ / \ multiply \ each \ side \ by \ 2 \\ \\ 3c = 12 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ c = (12)/(3) \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ 3 \\ \\ c = 4 \ / \ simplify \\ \\

So, your answer to this problem is c = 4.
