The period of the (corrected) function is #3#

Explanation:

Your original function is not trigonometric at all, so it does not have a period (it is just #x# multiplied by an irrational constant #1/2cos((2pi)/3)#).

But I think you meant #y=1/2cos((2pi)/3x)#.

To calculate the period of such a function you divide the period if #cos# function by the coefficient of #x#, so the period is:

#T=(2pi)/((2pi)/3)=(2pi)*(3/(2pi))=3#
