To find two thirds of one fourth, you multiply the two fractions together. Two thirds is equal to 2/3, and one fourth is equal to 1/4. Multiplying 2/3 by 1/4 gives you 2/12, which simplifies to 1/6. Therefore, two thirds of one fourth is 1/6.
you changed the 1 into a fraction, so 1 turns into 3 thirds. then you can easily subtract from 1 thirds. Then the answer would be 2/3. Your Welcome! :)
