1. You have a one-in-three chance. (or "You have 33% chance.") You can say "You have one-third of a chance," but it sounds very awkward. That construction is most often used in the idiom "give (someone) half a chance," meaning give someone even a very small opportunity. - You'll find that he's a really great guy, if you just give him half a chance. - I tried to beat him at tennis, but he's too much better than I am - I never even had half a chance.
