No they are both the same: 3/9 = 1/3 ( divide both parts by 3) as 4/12 = 1/3 (divide both parts by 4)
unit of measurement. Look at ruler and take an inch and divide by 4 equal parts. Each has a mark, one of those is 1/4 (quarter) 2 a half (1/2), 3 is 3/4 and 4 makes 1 whole inch. Just like a quarter (money) is one fourth of a dollar (whole)
Divide it into 3 equal parts.
To divide 5 inches into thirds, you first need to determine the length of each third. To do this, you divide the total length (5 inches) by the number of parts you want to divide it into (3 parts). Therefore, 5 inches divided by 3 equals approximately 1.67 inches per third. To physically divide the 5-inch length into thirds, you can mark the 1.67-inch intervals on a ruler or measuring tape.
On a standard ruler, 1.18 inches would fall between the 1 inch mark and the 2 inch mark. Each inch on a ruler is divided into 16 equal parts, known as sixteenths. So, 1.18 inches would be located 3/16 of an inch past the 1 inch mark. It can also be expressed as 1 inch + 3/16 inch.
