With the skid spot thing:
48/18 = 24/9 = 8/3 = 2.6666666666
Just wondering though, if I divide 48/18 I get a number with a decimal, doesn't that mean that the wheel goes around a non-even amount, making the spots where you stop pedaling slightly different each time (in my case it goes an extra two-thirds around each time). I don't know much about it, but I may just be drawing completely incorrect conclusions.
