1 third or 1/3
No it is not It makes up one and two thirds, a fraction.
If you have 3 and you want to show this in an improper fraction in thirds, you have to get 1 whole one into thirds, which is 3/3 and then times it by three whole ones which is 9/3. The answer is 9 thirds!
It cant be written as a decimal apart from 3.0 which is a whole number. The fraction is basically saying that there are 9 thirds which equals three. Three thirds equals one because three thirds equals a whole.
There are two ways: one is to start with a multiple of 3 so that the thirds are whole numbers. The second is to write the answer as a rational fraction rather than as a decimal.
there are three thirds in a whole
No.
If every fraction could be turned into a whole number, we wouldn't need fractions. 5 thirds is not a whole number, and there's nothing you can do to make it one, except to find another third somewhere and toss it on the pile. If you can do that, then you'll have 2. But if you're stuck with 5 thirds, then there's no way to make a whole number.
if i am understanding the question right you mean "is a fraction always smaller than a whole number?" the answer is no. for example is twelve thirds(12/3) smaller than 3? no because twelve thirds is actually 4 and 4 is greater than 3.
Four thirds.
Three thirds.
there are 3 thirds in a whole
two thirds
