To work out one third of a number, you can divide the number by 3. This is the same as multiplying the number by the reciprocal of 3, which is 1/3. For example, to find one third of 15, you would divide 15 by 3, resulting in 5. This method can be applied to any number to find one third of it accurately.

Well, honey, to find one third of a number, you simply divide that number by 3. It's as easy as pie! Just take your number, divide it by 3, and there you have it - one third of your original number. Math doesn't have to be a headache, darling!

Oh, dude, it's like super simple. To find one third of a number, you just divide the number by 3. It's like dividing a Pizza into 3 equal slices and taking one slice. So, if you had 30, one third of that would be 10. Easy peasy!

To get 1/3 of a number, you multiply the number by 1/3.

For example, let's say the number is 6.

Then...

6 × 1 6

⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻ = ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻

3 3

6÷3=2

You multiply the number with the numerator (the top part of the fraction) and divide by the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction).

For getting 1/3 of a number, you simply just divide the number by 3.
