3/6 = 50%
The fraction 3/6 represents 50%, or half of a whole. You might see this when half the seats on a bus are filled, half a pizza is left, or three out of six team members agree on an idea.
To picture 3/6 quickly, imagine a shape divided into six equal parts with three shaded. Since the shaded parts take up one side of the whole, you can estimate it as about half.
A common point of confusion is thinking that 3/6 is different from 1/2 because the numbers look larger. They describe the same amount, as long as the parts are equal in size.
