Answer:

It will take him 3/6, or 1/2 of a minutes to eat an apple. This is also equivalent to 30 seconds.

Explanation:

In order to eat a whole apple (1), 1/3 has to be multiplied by 3 times. To make it equal on both sides, 1/6 also has to be multiplied 3 times. 1/6 times 3 is 3/6, and that simplified is 1/2. Hoped this helped!
