Solution Steps

To solve the division of two rational numbers, we can convert the division into a multiplication by the reciprocal. This means dividing 1.5 by 0.6 is equivalent to multiplying 1.5 by the reciprocal of 0.6, which is \(\frac{1}{0.6}\).

Step 1: Set Up the Division

We need to calculate the division of two rational numbers: \[ 1.5 \div 0.6 \]

Step 2: Convert Division to Multiplication

To simplify the division, we can multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator: \[ 1.5 \div 0.6 = 1.5 \times \frac{1}{0.6} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Result

Calculating the multiplication gives us: \[ 1.5 \times \frac{1}{0.6} = 1.5 \times \frac{10}{6} = 1.5 \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{7.5}{3} = 2.5 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the result of the division is \[ \boxed{2.5} \]
