How many one-thirds are there in 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes two one-sixths to make a third. and we can see that there are 1 \times 6 = 6 sixths in a whole. The picture shows \frac13 of those 6 pieces. There are \frac13 \times 6 = 2 sixths in one-third.

Answer 2

Answer:

$2$

One third of 6 equals 2. If 6 is divided into three equal parts, or thirds, one of those parts is equal to 2.
