Answer: 3/6 = 1/2
Explanation:
Check out the diagram below. We have 3 pizza slices shaded out of 6 total to represent 3/6 of the entire thing. This is also 1/2 of the entire thing.
This is one visual way to see how 3/6 = 1/2.
You can multiply top and bottom of 1/2 to get 1*3 = 3 up top and 2*3 = 6 down below.
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1*3}{2*3} = \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
