Sorry I need to explain further, it may seem like a simple question to you but it has been well over 30 years since I have taken 6th grade math and I am reviewing my foster son's homework. Thanks for all of your help.

18.
Just 18.
Each "1" has three thirds.
6 x 3 = 18.

This must be a trick question! I for one am not falling for it!
3 X 6 = 18 but this is wrong!
The answer is 3!
3 divided into 6 = 2 and 2 divided into 6 = 3.
There are 3rds thirds in 6!

The question becomes 6 divided by 1/3:-
6 / (1/3) = 18 / 1 = 18

Try to be more specific.
You want to know the number of 1/3rds in 6 ?
That will be 6/ (1/3) = 6 * 3 = 18.

Not as the first answer. a Third goes into 1 three times. so you take that an multiply by 6.
answer = 18

You got one good answer which gave you the logic for the answer 18 and I gave a good rating to that answer. But then a slightly different reasoning came into my mind and here it is.
In any number we have only 3 thirds, 4 fourths, 5 fifits etc. So we have 3 thirds.

that's so simple that my grandmother with one eye can do it
Answer: 1=3/3 so 6= 3?/3*6=18 3rds

18.
(1/3)*x = 6
~~simplify (1/3)*x~~
(x/3) = 6
~~multiply both sides by three~~
x = 18
