1. **Write the Equation**:  
   The work done is given by  
   $$
   W = F \cdot d
   $$

2. **Rearrange the Equation**:  
   In this problem the force $$ F $$ is constant, so if the distance $$ d $$ is reduced, the work done changes proportionally. When the distance is divided by 3, we have  
   $$
   d' = \frac{d}{3}
   $$

3. **Plug in with Units**:  
   The original work done is  
   $$
   50\ \text{Joules} = F \cdot d
   $$  
   Now, if the distance is divided by 3, the new work $$ W' $$ becomes  
   $$
   W' = F \cdot \frac{d}{3} = \frac{1}{3} (F \cdot d) = \frac{1}{3} \times 50\ \text{Joules} = \frac{50}{3}\ \text{Joules}
   $$

4. **Final Answer with Units**:  
   The work done with the distance divided by three is  
   $$
   \frac{50}{3}\ \text{Joules} \approx 16.67\ \text{Joules}
   $$
The work done when the distance is divided by three is approximately 16.67 Joules.
