A fancy restaurant put dishes of butter at each table. They divided 1/2 of a kilogram of butter evenly to put 1/6 of a kilogram in each dish. How many butter dishes did they fill?
To find the number of dishes they filled, we need to divide the total amount of butter by the amount of butter in each dish.
They divided 1/2 of a kilogram of butter / 1/6 of a kilogram per dish = <<1/2/1/6=3>>3 dishes. Answer: \boxed{3}.

Apologies for the incorrect calculation. Let's redo it correctly.
If they divided 1/2 of a kilogram of butter and put 1/6 of a kilogram in each dish, we can find the number of dishes by dividing the total amount of butter by the amount in each dish.
1/2 kg of butter / 1/6 kg per dish = (1/2) / (1/6) = (1/2) * (6/1) = 3.
Therefore, they filled a total of 3 butter dishes.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's recalculate the number of butter dishes correctly.
If they divided 1/2 of a kilogram of butter and put 1/6 of a kilogram in each dish, we can find the number of dishes by dividing the total amount of butter by the amount in each dish.
1/2 kg of butter / 1/6 kg per dish = (1/2) * (6/1) = 6/2 = 3.
Therefore, they filled a total of 3 butter dishes. The correct answer is 3.
