Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

1/2 ÷ 3 → 1/2 ÷ 3/1 *Let's write both as fractions to make things easier

1/2 ÷ 3/1 → 1/2 · 1/3 *Change the division sign into multiplication and turn 3/1 into its reciprocal which is 1/3 (aka just change the numerator into denominator and denominator into numerator)

1/2 · 1/3 = 1/6 *Multiply straight across! So, 1 · 1 = 1 (numerator) over 2 · 3 = 6 (denominator)
