A third of 12 is 4. I always think if it as 4×3=12... So 12-4=8.

Answer: Hello there!

We know that Jada has 12 books checked out, and Han has one third less than that.

one-third of a number is equal to the number divided by 3, in this case, we have the number 12, so a third of 12 is: 12/3 = 4

then if Han has a third less than 12, Han has 12 - 4 = 8 books checked out.
