Question

how many thirds are there in a whole

Answer 1

We can connect this to the algorithm for dividing fractions: and we can see that there are 2 wholes with 3 thirds in each whole, so there are thirds in . Because we want to know how many two-thirds there are, we have to make groups of thirds, or divide the number of thirds we have by .

Answer 2

Answer:

There are $3$ thirds in a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thirds: Dividing any number into three equal parts is called a third of a number.

Step 1 of 1

To find:-

The number of thirds in a whole number.

Let w be any whole number.

As we know,

Dividing the given whole number w by 3 gives the third of that number.

Since the third of w is w/3.

Now,

Let the number of the thirds in w (whole number) be x.

Then,

$\frac{w}{3}\times x=w$

Solve the equation for x follows:

$\frac{wx}{3}=w$

x = 3

Therefore, there are 3 thirds in a whole number.
