The number of divisions to use is not stated: So, 2 rows x 3 columns if dividing original rectangle into two rectangles.
Divide it in to 3 columns.
5.5 inches is 5 and 1/2 inches = 11/2 inches and you want to divide this into three equal parts. Divide 11/2 by 3 which is 11/6 = 1 and 5/6. So mark off a 1and 5/6 inches column from the leftedge of the page, then mark off another 1 and 5/6 inches column from the first one youmarked previouslyand you will end up with three equal columns

To Make all the columns the same length.
Usually when you want different sections on the same page. One typical example is where you have different amounts of columns on the same page. For something like a newsletter you might have a single column for a title which will appear across several columns immediately below. Between the single column and the multiple columns a continuous section break would be put in.
Sections in a document have a standard format. For example you can set up sections in your document that have different amounts of columns, if you were doing a magazine. It is possible to have the different sections on the one page. So part of the page woule have 3 columns of text and part could have two columns. A section break will allow you to that. After making a section break, you can change the formatting and it won't affect other sections. A next page section break will create a section break, but start that section on a new page. It is a combination of a section break and a page break.
