Start by simplifying 812\\frac{8}{12} to its lowest terms. Divide both the numerator (8) and the denominator (12) by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. 812=8\u00f7412\u00f74=23\\frac{8}{12} = \\frac{8 \\div 4}{12 \\div 4} = \\frac{2}{3} So, 812\\frac{8}{12} simplifies to 23\\frac{2}{3}.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The question asks how many thirds fit into 812\\frac{8}{12}. Since 812\\frac{8}{12} simplifies to 23\\frac{2}{3}, it is already expressed in terms of thirds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The fraction 23\\frac{2}{3} contains exactly 2<\/strong> thirds because each “third” is equal to 13\\frac{1}{3}, and 23\\frac{2}{3} is made up of two 13\\frac{1}{3} parts. Therefore, there are 2 thirds<\/strong> in 812\\frac{8}{12}.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
