When you know that School X has <em>8 points</em>, and School Y has <em>3 times less</em>, you have to divide 8 by 3. When you do that, you get 2.6̅, or 2.6 repeating, which means that you have 2 that goes into 3 goes into 8 3 times, because 3 x 3 would be 9, which is bigger than 8. Anyway, when you divide again because you have to add a decimal point after the number to keep dividing, <em>you keep getting 6</em>. it's never going to change, because thats what 6̅ is. 6 REPEATING.
