9 ninths divided by 3 equals 3 ninths. 3 thirds divided by 3 is 1 third. 1 third equals 3 ninths. 2 thirds equals 6 ninths. 2 thirds is bigger

To get ninths from thirds, you need to multiply both numerator and denominator by 32/3 = (2*3)/(3*3) = 6/9

1 third = 3 ninths, 3 ninths - 2 ninths = 1 ninth.

2/3 = 6/9 They are equivalent fractions.

6 minus 3 and two thirds = 2 and one third.

When subtracting 2/3 from 2/3, you will get an answer of zero.

1 - 2/3, first convert the 1 to thirds, thusly 3/3 - 2/3 = 1/3So, 1 minus two thirds equals one third.

There are two thirds in two thirds, as two thirds suggests. Or the answer could be three if you look at it a different way. One third (1/3) of two thirds (2/3) is two ninths (2/9).
