Why does 1/3 of 1/3 equal 1?

1.	Why does 1/3 of 1/3 equal 1?
Answer» 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/9 The word \'of \' to the best of my knowledge , is synonymous with the word multiply in the math world .If I have 40 loaves of bread (2 baskets multiplied by 20 loaves)In the same way 1/3 of 1/3 is synonymous with 1/3 multiplied by 1/3 , which is 1/9. Thanks!..But I am still confused, Can you explain it in detail please... 1/3 of 1/3 does not equal to 1 because \'of \'means multiply so the answer is 1/9
