\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\: :)}}}
