Answer:

C)


(1)/(2)

Explanation:

Your problem should be set up like so:


(1)/(6) / (2)/(6)

When dividing fractions you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Therefore your question changes to this:


(1)/(6) * (6)/(2)

You multiply as across as normal and you'll end up with


(6)/(12)

Which when simplified gives you


(1)/(2)
