Basically, you put the first piece 2 and put 3 under it!! It works with any whole numbers!!! so 2/3.

so 2 pices of licorese
what you do is you take each stick and divide it into 3 pieces (try to make them eaqual)
you have 6 pieces
6 divided by 3 i a nice number
6 divided by 3=2
each person gets 2 pieces (2/3 stick)
