In order to find the number one third of the way between 3 and 5, we need to know the difference between the two:
\n" ); document.write( "5 - 3 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "
Now we should find 1/3 of that distance:
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)*2
\n" ); document.write( "= 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "
Add this amount to number 3:
\n" ); document.write( "3 + (2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "= 3⅔
\n" ); document.write( "
The number one third of the way between 3 and 5 is 3⅔. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
