If 9 is one half, the whole thing must be 9 * 2, or 18. Now it is easy to find 1/3 of the number: 18 / 3 = 6.

One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.
One half is nine eighteenths. Nine eighteenths minus three eighteenths is six eighteenths, which is also one third.
you must first divide a number by three...Such as a third of the number nine is three because nine divided by three is three! :-) Or you can multiply a number by a third...Such as saying 9 * 1/3 = 9/3 = 3 Hope that that was helpful
The answer is 3.
Neither is larger.
