Question

Why does it take 3 copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as 1 copy of 1/2

Answer 1

`\begin{aligned}3 * (1)/(6) &= (3)/(6) \\ & = \frac{3 / \blue{3}}{6 / \blue{3} } \\ &= \bold{ (1)/(2) } \end{aligned}`

`\tt{That's\: why \: it\:takes\: 3\: copies\: of\: (1)/(6)} \: \\ \tt{to\: show\: the \: same \: amount\: as\: 1\: copy\: of\: (1)/(2)} \\ \\ \small{\blue{\mathfrak{That's \: it\: :)}}}`
