Answer 2

`(1)/(6)`

Step-by-step explanation

The given fraction is

`(1)/(3)`

We want to find half of this fraction.

We can write this expression mathematically as:

`(1)/(2) \: of \: \: (1)/(3)`

The 'of' in this expression means multiplication.

This implies that

`\implies \: (1)/(2) \: of \: \: (1)/(3) = (1)/(2) \: * \: \: (1)/(3)`

`\implies \: (1)/(2 ) \: of \: \: (1)/(3) = (1 * 1)/(2 * 3)`

We multiply out to get

`\implies \: (1 )/(2) \: of \: \: (1)/(3) = (1)/(6)`
