To solve the problem of dividing 1 3 by 3, we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
1 3 can be expressed as:
1 3 = 1 + 3/1 = 1/1 + 3/1 = 4/1.
Now, we need to divide 4 by 3. When we divide a fraction by a whole number, we can do so by multiplying the denominator by that whole number:
4/1 ÷ 3 = 4/1 × 1/3 = 4/3.
The result of 1 3 divided by 3 is thus 4/3, which is an improper fraction. This can also be converted back to a mixed number:
4/3 = 1 1/3.
Therefore, 1 3 divided by 3 equals 1 1/3.
