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.
You'd have to have fractional parts of triangles. Each group would have 1 and 1/3 triangle.
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.
1/3, divide the whole into 3
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)
Think of an inch with eight parts. Since it is 3/8 of an inch, it's half way between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch.

Divide it into 3 equal parts.
To find 1/3 of 2078 divide into 3 equal parts. 2078/3 = 692 2/3
1 inch = 2.54 cm So divide by 2.54 --- 3 times OR divide by (2.54)3 200 / (2.54)3 = 12.205 cubic inches
One pile has 2 parts of the total and the other has 1 part → 2 + 1 = 3 parts are needed to divide up the total. 12 / 3 = 4 → each part contains 4 → to divide 12 in the ratio of 2:1, you split it 2 parts × 4 per part : 1 part × 4 per part = 8 : 4
There are 16 sixteenths in an inch, so to find how many three sixteenths are in an inch, you would divide 16 by 3. This equals approximately 5.33, so there are about 5 three sixteenths in an inch.
3 feet. Because 1 foot = 12 inches and if you divide 36 by 12 you get 3
You divide it 3 by 3.
divide by 12 = 8 foot 1-3/4 inch
