The question is asking us to divide $\frac{1}{6}÷\frac{1}{3}$. To see this, imagine that the numbers were something nicer, for example: "How many threes are in 12?" We can see that this problem is asking us how many groups of 3 you can make if you have 12 things, and the answer is $12÷3=4$. So we get$$\frac{1}{6}÷\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}\cdot \frac{3}{1}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1\cdot \cancel{3}}{2\cdot \cancel{3}}=\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.$$
