#3#

Explanation:

#1/2*6#

For multiplication, you can multiply numbers without having to deal with a GCD or LCD. The #6# is by itself, but remember that it is equivalent to #6/1#.

#=1/2*6= 1/2*6/1#

Method 1
#=1/2*6/1#

For multiplication, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
#=(1*6)/(2*1)=6/2=3#

Method 2
#=1/2*6/1#

Cancel out the terms by dividing by the greatest common factor which is 2.
#=1/(2/2)*(6/2)/1=1/1*3/1=3/1=3#
