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
One third of 850 is equal to 283.333... (repeating). To calculate this, you would divide 850 by 3, which equals 283.333... The decimal representation of this fraction is a recurring decimal, indicating that it cannot be expressed as a finite decimal number.
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.
