Confused on when it says thirds. Can't remember if thirds is 1/3 or not. I am pretty sure it is.
your answer is correct. Doesn't matter what "thirds" are.
However, FYI,

"3" is 3/1
Ok good thank you : )
To determine if "thirds" is equal to 3/1, we can simplify the fraction 3/1.
The fraction 3/1 is already in its simplest form because the numerator (3) and the denominator (1) have no common factors other than 1. So, yes, thirds is equal to 3/1.
Moving on to the second part of your question:
To perform the division of 11/1 by 3/1, we need to follow these steps:
1. Keep the first fraction (11/1) as is.
2. To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/1 is 1/3.
3. Multiply the first fraction (11/1) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (1/3):
(11/1) * (1/3) = (11 * 1) / (1 * 3) = 11/3
So, the answer to 11/1 divided by 3/1 is 11/3.
In mixed number form, 11/3 can be expressed as 3 2/3. Therefore, your final answer is indeed 3 2/3.
