Hi, please help me.

"I tiptoed over to my closet, pulled the door open a third of the way."
Could you teach me what the phrase "a third of the way" means?
  

Top answer

It means that the person didn't open the door completely, he/she just set it ajar. If 1 means completely open, then "a third of the way" means 1/3.
