1. **State the problem:** We want to find out how many pigs can share 3 blocks if each pig gets $\frac{1}{2}$ of a block.
2. **Formula used:** To find the number of pigs, divide the total number of blocks by the amount each pig gets:
$$\text{Number of pigs} = \frac{\text{Total blocks}}{\text{Blocks per pig}}$$
3. **Apply the values:**
$$\text{Number of pigs} = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{2}}$$
4. **Simplify the division by a fraction:**
$$\frac{3}{\frac{1}{2}} = 3 \times \frac{2}{1}$$
5. **Calculate the multiplication:**
$$3 \times 2 = 6$$
6. **Answer:**
So, 6 pigs can share 3 blocks if each pig gets half a block.
