Answer:

The numerator = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given fraction is 1/3

Let the numerator of the equivalent fraction be x

The denominator of the equivalent fraction = 6

The equivalent fraction is x/6

Since 1/3 is equivalent to x/6, equate them, and solve for x


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)=(x)/(6) \\ 3x\text{ = 6} \\ x=(6)/(3) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the numerator of the fraction equivalent to 1/3 is 2
