No, dividing into thirds means three equal parts.B.
Because you're saying dividing "into thirds" not "by three"

Dividing "by 3" IS dividing "into thirds"
I disagree. The OP is asking about whole numbers and fractions. I don't think a mathematician would consider dividing a whole number into thirds as dividing a whole number by another whole number.

Then you would say 40 x 1/3 to "divide into thirds", which obviously produces the same result as 40/3.I disagree. The OP is asking about whole numbers and fractions. I don't think a mathematician would consider dividing a whole number into thirds as dividing a whole number by another whole number.
