One third of a number divided by itself gives 1/3. Find the number.

To find the number, let's set up the equation using the information given.

Let's assume that the number is represented by the variable "x".

The given information states that one-third of the number divided by itself gives 1/3. We can write this as:

1/3 * x / x = 1/3.

Since x divided by itself is equal to 1, the equation simplifies to:

1/3 * 1 = 1/3.

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get:

1 = 1.

This shows that the equation is true regardless of the value of "x". Therefore, any number can satisfy this condition. Hence, there is no single solution for the number.

true for any number except zero.

Any number divided by 1/3 of itself is three
