How many 1/3 are in 2 2/3

Answer 1

This just means 2 2/3 divided by 1/3

First you need to change 2 2/3 into an improper fraction so it would be 8/3

Now we have

(8/3) / (1/3)

we need do the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiple

(8/3)* (3/1)

now we can multiple straight across

(8/3)* (3/1) = 24/3 =8

So 8 times of 1/3 goes into 2 2/3.
