In the same manner, one third of four things is four thirds of one thing. If four oranges be cut each into three parts, and then one part of each be taken, it will make four pieces, each of which is one third of one orange. Hence one third of four oranges is four thirds of one orange, that is, one whole one and one third.

* Divide each orange into three parts, and then take one part from each.
