1/3 of 30 is 10 because you dividing it by 3 and you would get 10.

Now 2/3 of 10 :

10/3=3.3 (2/3 so we have to multiply by 2) 3.3•2=6.6

6.6 has to be estimated because you can't have 6.6 people.

Your answer would be 6. Before I said 7 but you said I was incorrect so the only possibility left is 6.

Hoped I helped!
