It takes three copies of 1/6 to show the same amount as one copy of 1/2.
Why this is is because a sixth is smaller than a half. There are six sixths in a whole. There are only two halves in a whole.
So when you divide the whole into six parts, you would need half of the parts to have a half. Like down here: <em>(not correct to scale, sorry)</em>

It takes 3 of the sixths to = 1 half.
another way you can check is by simplifying your fractions.
3/6, when you divide by 3 top and bottom, = 1/2
I hope this answers your question somewhat. Please ask if there's anything more
Answer: 40.3
HOW I SOLVED:
1. make the decimals into whole numbers
8.06 —> 806 and 0.2 —> 20
806 / 20 = 40.3
I am in geometry now but we haven’t learned that yet
