maybe 6 1/2 is a mixed fraction?

[noble fossil]

Yeah, that does give x > 1.

Why mixed fractions would be used here is beyond me, though...

[blazing walrus]

what do you mean mixed fraction

[robust yacht]

$6\frac12=6+\frac12$

[mighty grove]

ooaa

[blazing walrus]

why should it be plus 1/2

oh so it would be 13/2

[robust yacht]

yes

[noble fossil]

That's the notation for mixed fractions. Thankfully, they aren't used often beyond elementary and start of middle school.
