Two thirds. Cut a pie into 3 slices. Take away 1 slice (one third). You are left with 2 slices (two thirds).
1 minus 5/8 is 3/8.
1-1/3 - 2/3 = 2/3

Two of them.
1 minus 1/4 = 3/4
2 sixths, which is also one third.
1 minus 5/8 is 3/8.
1-1/3 - 2/3 = 2/3

how is 1/3 of a set and 1/3 of a whole the same and different
if 3 equals one third, then one whole would be comprised of 9.
1.3
Consider the whole number 1 and let's say we divide it by 0.1 What is meant by the above statement is how many 0.1 are there in 1 That is (1)/(0.1) and can be written as (1)/(1/10) and asks how many 1/10th are there in 1. We see 1 is a whole number divided by a fraction which will always yield a larger quotient than the original number.
It is 2 7/12.
