One Third
One third is equal to 0.33 decimal. One third is a fraction that is derived at dividing a whole number into three equal parts.
0.3333 repeating
33 1/3%:= 0.3333 as a decimal= 3/9 or 1/3 as a fraction
First of all "fourteen over one third" is not possible because one third is already a fraction, and you cannot have a fraction over a fraction, and Second, because it is impossible, you cannot make it into a decimal. If the problem was worded differently, the answer would be much easier to find.
1/3 is already expressed as a fraction - as a decimal, it is 0.3 recurring (that is, 0.33333...)
3333/100 or 33.33
One third in figures is '1/3' (fraction) or 0.333.... (decimal).
As a decimal: 33.33333 As an improper fraction: 100/3 As a mixed number: 33 1/3
Third to the right of the decimal point
Approximating a fraction would depend upon how the fraction is expressed, which would either be in the form of one number divided by another number, or by a decimal. For example, one third is either one divided by three (1/3), or it is .3333333333333333 (etc.). In the latter case, you can decide how many decimal points you want to give, such as, one third is aproximately .333; there would be no point in approximating the 1/3 format of one third. But suppose the fraction was .3337; that is slightly larger than a third, but it could still be approximated as a third. Or, 100/301 which is slightly less than a third, could be approximated as a third.
The rational fraction, one third, can be represented as a non terminating decimal, with the digit 3 repeating for ever.
