Answer

$$\frac{\pi}{6}$$

Work Step by Step

\begin{align*} \lim _{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{6}} \frac{ x}{\sin 3x}&= \frac{ \pi/6}{\sin 3\pi/6} \\ &= \frac{ \pi/6}{\sin (3\pi/6)} \\ &= \frac{ \pi/6}{\sin (\pi/2)}\\ &= \frac{\pi}{6}. \end{align*} Where we used Theorem 2 -- that is, $\lim _{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{ \sin x}{ x}=1. $
