What is 1/3 of 540

Answer 1

all you do is divide 540 by 3

Answer 2

You can simply multiply the two to get your answer. Which gives you an answer of 180 if you put it in a calculator.

Or if you don't want to use a calculator just do what as_iya says and think of a third of being 1 of 3 parts of it. So to get it into three parts just divide by 3 to also get 180.
