> Just like fractions, there are multiple ways of writing the same value. 3/2 is the same as 6/4.

This is not correct. In binary you only have 2 choices {0,1} for the numerator, so 3/2 is represented 1.1 and 6/4 can only be represented as 1.1 (feel free to add the completing 0s)

The numerator is a binary integer, not a bit (and not the part of the number before the "decimal" point).

3 in binary is 11. 6 in binary is 110.

3/2 (decimal) is 11/10 (binary) and 6/4 (decimal) is 110/100 (binary).

Of course the denominators always have trailing zeros, so can be (and are) represented more compactly.
