To solve this problem, we need to compare the fractions representing the number of people who rode the rollercoaster and bumper cars.
One half can be written as 3/6 since the least common denominator is 6.
Two sixths is equivalent to 2/6.
Comparing the fractions, we see that 3/6 is not equal to 2/6.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is:
