This riddle's answer is 15, but normally:
To multiply a fraction with an integer, multiply the integer with the numerator, then divide the result by the denominator. Thus, 1/3 of 6 (1/3 times 6) = (6/1) / 3 = 2 (not 3, as you state in your question).

First of all, "a third of six" is not three, it is two...and half of twenty is ten. However, if by some mathematical gimmickry, a third of six were three then, by extension, half of twenty would be fifteen.
six fourteenths nine twenty oneths twelve twenty eighths
Twenty-three and eighty-six hundredths
you write it: six hundred million forty three thousand three three hundred twenty one.
To write 306,020 in words, you would write it as "three hundred six thousand twenty." This is because the first three digits represent the thousands place, the next three digits represent the hundreds place, and the last three digits represent the units place. So, 306,020 is read as three hundred six thousand twenty.
