To determine which number is larger between $$ 1 \frac{2}{5} $$ and $$ \frac{6}{4} $$, let's convert both to decimal form for an easy comparison.

1. **Convert $$ 1 \frac{2}{5} $$ to a decimal:**
   
   $$
   1 \frac{2}{5} = 1 + \frac{2}{5} = 1 + 0.4 = 1.4
   $$

2. **Convert $$ \frac{6}{4} $$ to a decimal:**
   
   $$
   \frac{6}{4} = 1.5
   $$

3. **Compare the two decimals:**
   
   $$
   1.4 \quad \text{vs.} \quad 1.5
   $$
   
   Clearly, $$ 1.5 $$ is greater than $$ 1.4 $$.

**Conclusion:**  
$$ \frac{6}{4} $$ (which equals 1.5) is larger than $$ 1 \frac{2}{5} $$ (which equals 1.4).

**Answer:**  
The larger number is $$ \frac{6}{4} $$.
$$ \frac{6}{4} $$ is larger than $$ 1 \frac{2}{5} $$.

Which is larger? \( 1 \frac{2}{5} \) or \( \frac{6}{4} \) The larger number is \( 1 \frac{2}{5} \) The larger number is \( \frac{6}{4} \)
