Your answer will be D The fraction is half the size of 3 because it seems to be the only proper answer for this question because its not A because 3 can be twice the size at a fraction but it doesn't include it in the option its not B because a fraction can not be twice the size as three because fractions are always smaller than whole numbers unless the whole number is 6 1/2 etc when it came down to rather C, or D I choose D because based on the equation its 3 is two times bigger than___ not 2 times bigger than ___ D seems to be the only reasonable answer. Your answer is D.
