Just one diagonal will divide a hexagon into two halves
It is possible to divide a hexagon into 4 or more - up to infinitely many - triangles.
divide into sixths... or buy two more sandwiches.. :)

8 1/6 = 49 sixths. 49 - 5 (sixths) = 44(sixths). Change the sixths back to whole numbers, divide by 6 = 7 2/6 = 7 1/3.
The fraction “four-sixths” would mean “four triangles,” because one-sixth of the hexagon is a triangle.

Select any point inside the hexagon and draw a line segment to any point on the boundary of the hexagon. Draw 7 more such segments. These will divide the hexagon into 8 parts. The parts will not be equal but that was not a requirement of the question.

Partitioning a general hexagon into 6 equal parts is normally extremely difficult..
That depends how many sections you wish to divide it into.
Divide it into 72 pieces, group them into groups of 8. DoNe
The area will depend on the shape of the hexagon. You may have to divide it up into triangles, calculate the area of each triangle and then sum the answers.
