12/3 = 4 whole ones.
15 ÷ 3 = 5 whole ones
there are 3 thirds in a whole.
3 thirds are in one whole
If you have 3 and you want to show this in an improper fraction in thirds, you have to get 1 whole one into thirds, which is 3/3 and then times it by three whole ones which is 9/3. The answer is 9 thirds!

5 there are 5 thirds in 1 and 2/3....there are 3 thirds in the whole (1) and 2 in the 2/thirds
If you mean 3 whole and 2/3, the answer would be 11 thirds. If you mean 3 thirds and 2/3 the answer would be 5 thirds
