How do I:

Find the two points on the number line that divide the line segment from 0 to 6 into three equal pieces (Choose 2)

It gives me 1,2,3,4,5 as answers.

I have no idea how to start.

If you had six dollar bills lined up lengthwise, and wanted to break it into three even dollar amounts, where would you separate them?
