It cant be written as a decimal apart from 3.0 which is a whole number. The fraction is basically saying that there are 9 thirds which equals three. Three thirds equals one because three thirds equals a whole.
9/5 = 1.8
If you have 3 and you want to show this in an improper fraction in thirds, you have to get 1 whole one into thirds, which is 3/3 and then times it by three whole ones which is 9/3. The answer is 9 thirds!
If 9 counters represent the whole set, to find five-thirds of the set, you multiply 9 by ( \frac{5}{3} ). This calculation gives you ( 9 \times \frac{5}{3} = 15 ). Therefore, there are 15 counters in five-thirds of the set.
9/24 is not a whole number, so no whole number is equivalent to it.
