    Lets find that out writing equations and solving them, a multiple of 1/6 is something like this (1/6) x, so we have

    (1/6) x > 3/6

    and

    (1/6) y < 4/6

    lets solve both equations:

    (1/6) x > 3/6

    x > 6 (3/6)

    x > 3

    (1/6) y < 4/6

    y < 6 (4/6)

    y < 4

    So the number must be between 3 and 4, which is obvious, lets try with 3.5 then, that is 3 5/10 or 35/10 = 7/2 in fractional form, and lets try it out:

    (1/6) (7/2) = 7/12

    finally we compare with the original fractions:

    1/6 < 7/12

    2/12 < 7/12

    So, it comply with being greater than 1/6, now lets compare with 4/6

    7/12 < 4/6

    7/12 < 8/12

    therefore is also smaller than 4/6 and hence 7/12 is a multiple of 1/6 between 3/6 and 4/6
