Answer 1

EXPLANATION :

From the problem, we have the fraction :

`(2)/(6)`

We need to find the common factor between the numerator and the denominator.

2 = 2 x 1

and

6 = 3 x 2 x 1

The common factor is 2 x 1 which is equal to 2.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 :

`(2/2)/(6/2)=(1)/(3)`

ANSWER :

The answer is B. 1/3
