Answer: 1/3 is less than 1 whole

Step-by-step explanation: 1/3 is a fraction of a whole number therefore it is less than 1 whole.

1/3 is 1/3 of 1 or 1/3 of a single whole.

Hope that helped! :)

1/3 is less than one whole because your cutting the whole into 3 pieces and only having one of those pieces
