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
