Two thirds are left after you take one third from a whole.
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.

-- 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
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.
