Given:

It\text{ takes }(2)/(3)\text{ yard to wrap one package}
\begin{gathered} Number\text{ of packages Kris can wrap=}(4)/((2)/(3)) \\ Number\text{ of packages Kris can wrap=}4*(3)/(2) \\ Number\text{ of packages Kris can wrap=}2*3 \\ Number\text{ of packages Kris can wrap=}6 \end{gathered}

Number of packages Kris can wrap is 6.
