because multiplying is like grouping. so 2 x 5 is 2 groups of 5 added together. so 9 groups of 1/3 equals 3.

One third divided by one ninth is the same as one third times nine, which is three.
The same as 28.26 divided by 3.
If you want to find a third of 535 it is 535/3=178.3 (.3 is reoccurring) But 535 divided by one third is the same as saying how many times does 1/3 go into 535 (1605). Hope this helps
Every whole number can be written as an improper fraction by putting it over one. If we do that, the problem becomes 2/3 x 12/1 When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Then the problem becomes 2 x 12 over 3 x 1 Since the line in a fraction can be read as "divided by" 2/3 x 12 is the same as 2 x 12 divided by 3
That's the same as 25 divided by 3.
