Yes, the word 'three' is a noun; a word for a number, a word for a thing.

All words for numbers function as both nouns and adjectives. Examples:

noun: We sent out invitations just yesterday and we already have responses from three.

adjective: The three responses are all positive.

Yes, the number three (3) is both a noun and an adjective.

The noun 'three' is a singular, common noun, a word for a thing.

When a number is used on it's own, a number is a noun (see page three).
When a number is used to describe a noun, a number is an adjective (there are three pages).

It may be considered an adjective, as it is the ordinal number for the cardinal number three. The fraction (a third, one third) is a noun.

*some analyses consider ordinal numbers as determiners (quantifiers), not true adjectives.

yes it can be.

Consider "I have 3 apples" (You would right out 3 since it is less than ten however.) 3 is modifying apples making it an adjective.
