1. The problem is to compare the fractions $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$.
2. Both fractions have the same denominator, which means they represent parts of the same whole divided into 6 equal parts.
3. When denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater.
4. Here, $3 > 2$, so $\frac{3}{6} > \frac{2}{6}$.
5. To simplify, both fractions can be reduced by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
6. For $\frac{3}{6}$, GCD is 3:
$$\frac{\cancel{3}}{\cancel{6}} = \frac{1}{2}$$
7. For $\frac{2}{6}$, GCD is 2:
$$\frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{6}} = \frac{1}{3}$$
8. So, $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$.
9. Since $\frac{1}{2} > \frac{1}{3}$, the original comparison holds.
Final answer: $\frac{3}{6} > \frac{2}{6}$ or simplified $\frac{1}{2} > \frac{1}{3}$.
