There are twelve thirds in four wholes.
1 whole, or 1
how is 1/3 of a set and 1/3 of a whole the same and different
You can only get one 2/3 out of a whole, since two times two thirds is four thirds which is one and a third, hence, larger than a whole.
one whole
A third of a pie or a slice of a pie that is one third of the whole

The idea is to divide 1 1/3 (one and one-third) by 1/3.
One third is closer to a whole than one quarter, but farther from a whole than one half.
One third is not a whole number.
1 whole, or 1
one third times three
-- Cut the whole thing into three identical pieces. -- Each piece is one third of the whole thing. -- If the whole thing is a number, divide the number by 3 to find one third of it.
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.
No, it is not.
One and one third is the same as saying one whole piece and one third of a piece.The big number is the whole and the part of a number is the fraction. This type of fraction is called a mixed number.
You can only get one 2/3 out of a whole, since two times two thirds is four thirds which is one and a third, hence, larger than a whole.
