Because “A” is initially 6 blocks and we need to make a quarter (1/4) out of this 6 blocks for “B”. So the easy way out is to subdivide each block of “A” into 4 smaller parts. So “A” becomes 24u total and then B becomes (24 x 1/4) = 6u. Hope this is clear. 😀

Sorry can explain why B is 6u and A each unit is 4u? Thks

Or you can also make “A” become total = (6×2) = 12u , and “B” become = (12u x 1/4) = 3u. The results will be the same.
