To solve this, follow these steps:
1. Find the reciprocal of 3, which is \frac{1}{3} .
2. Multiply 0.5 by this reciprocal:
0.5 \times \frac{1}{3}
3. This is equal to:
\frac{0.5}{3}
4. Converting 0.5 to a fraction gives us \frac{1}{2} :
\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}
So, the final answer is:
\frac{1}{6}
