Any fraction is equivalent to itself multiplied by a clever form of one. Essentially 5/3 is the same thing as (5/3) times (2/2) which equals 10/6. 2/2 is the same thing as one, and when anything is multiplied by one the value does not change. So we know that (5/3) = (10/6). We can apply the same method to the problem at hand. this is the question you are asking written mathematically: (2/3) = (X/6) and you want to know what X is. do a little bit of simple algebra: ---- (2/3) times 1 = X/6 ___________Multiple by 1 (does not actually change the value) (2/3) times (2/2) = X/6 ________Rewrite 1 into a clever form (2/2 is the same thing as 1)
(4/6) = X/6 _________________Simplify
X=4 _______________________Solve ---- Four sixths equal two thirds

How many sixths are equal to two thirds?
i think it is 2?
Is two thirds greater than four sixths?
Two thirds is actually equal to four sixths. You have to reduce four sixths by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor, which in this case is 2.
Is two thirds and four sixths equal?
Yes, 2/3 = 4/6
Is 2 thirds the same as 3 sixths?
No. Two thirds is the same as 4 sixths. 3 sixths is the same as 1 half. 2 thirds is 331/3% more than 3 sixths.
Is four sixths bigger than two thirds?
I'm mostly sure that four sixths is bigger than two thirds.
