Final answer:

To find the total of 3 copies of 1/3, you multiply 1/3 by 3, resulting in 3/3 which simplifies to 1 whole.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question '3 copies of of 1/3' seems to be asking how to calculate the total when you have three copies of one-third of a whole. To approach this mathematically, we simply need to multiply the fraction 1/3 by 3.

The calculation process is as follows:

  1. Multiply the numerator (top number of the fraction) by 3: 1 * 3 = 3.
  2. The denominator (bottom number of the fraction) remains the same since we are dealing with copies of the same fraction: 3.
  3. Thus, 3 copies of 1/3 is equal to 3/3.

By simplifying 3/3, we get 1, which means that 3 copies of 1/3 make a whole. This aligns with our understanding that three thirds make one whole.

Well I think that for this problem we should multiply 3x1/3 which is 1 whole. Sorry if I'm incorrect.
