this is dumb, I know it's dumb but I'm dyslexic mathematically, seriously!!  is 2/3rds of a cup 2 x my 1/3rd cup measure??  or is it 2/3rds of my 1/3rd cup measure?

[judydawn]

It's 2 of your 1/3 cup measures curly.

[Kimmyh]

Not dumb at all it is 2 x your 1/3 cup measure.

[jeninwa]

It would be 2 of your 1/3 cups.

[jeninwa]

You beat me to it JD 

[judydawn]

Ha ha, it would have been funny if we gave different answers girls. 

[curly66]

thankyou thankyou thankyou all....... wish I understood math but I just don't and never will.......

[Amy :-)]

Don't worry curly, I failed maths in school. The numbers just get jumbled up when I look at them

But I'm good with words

[curly66]

wow Amy...... I'm the same, I'm pretty good with words, spelling, crosswords etc etc....... math a jumble!!

[Amy :-)]

I love crosswords too! I do the cryptic ones My mum is really good at them though so she can't help telling me answers if I'm "too slow"

At school they dumped me in the hardest maths class. I have no idea why they did that, or why they thought I was good at maths! I remember tests when I couldn't even figure out one single answer. And the horrible quizzes when the teacher would randomly select students to work out answers on the whiteboard in front of the class... some of my most embarrassing moments were probably in maths class

[Kimmyh]

That is terrible Amy. No wonder you hate maths.
I love maths, puzzles and suduko.

[Amy :-)]

Lucky you Kimmy. I wish I was god at those things!

But that is why I could never go to university and study dietetics. It involves sciency things, which involve maths

Kimmy, I am like you. Enjoy maths and sudoku.

[jeninwa]

I'm like Cookie and Kimmy, love sudoku and maths not that good with crosswords.

If you think of the cup as having three equal parts, and each being a 1/3 measurement you would need  to use
2 of those measurements out of the 3.

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

1/3
