If you reduce both fractions they are both equal to 1/2. 
 
3/6=1/2 * 3/3
2/4=1/2 * 2/2
 
Note that 3/3 and 2/2 are both just forms of 1, so both fractions are indeed equal when reduced.

There is not just one answer, 3/6 is equivalent to ANY and ALL fractions that reduce to 1/2. 
 
So 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2, 2/4, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12, 7/14, etc
