If there are three thirds in one, there must be six thirds in two.
5 there are 5 thirds in 1 and 2/3....there are 3 thirds in the whole (1) and 2 in the 2/thirds
There are 18.
Divide the whole into three. Take two of them.They represent two thirds of the whole.
The idea is to divide 1 1/3 (one and one-third) by 1/3.
there are 3 thirds in a whole
7
Three thirds.
3 thirds are in one whole
3
2
You can only get one 2/3 out of a whole, since two times two thirds is four thirds which is one and a third, hence, larger than a whole.
If there are three thirds in one, there must be six thirds in two.
There are three thirds in one whole.
6 Thirds are in 2 wholes. 3 in 1 whole.
The correct answer would be three.
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.
