To find out how many whole laps Jason will complete in 2/3 of an hour, we need to determine the number of laps he completes in 1/15 of an hour and then multiply that by 2/3.

Given that Jason takes 4/15 of an hour to complete one lap, we can calculate the number of laps he completes in 1/15 of an hour:

1 lap / (4/15) hour = 15/4 laps

Now we can find out how many whole laps he will complete in 2/3 of an hour by multiplying the number of laps he completes in 1/15 of an hour by 2/3:

(15/4 laps) * (2/3) = 30/12 laps = 2.5 laps

Therefore, Jason will complete 2 whole laps in 2/3 of an hour.
