Final answer:

To find two thirds of a number, multiply the number by 2/3.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find two thirds of a number, you need to first determine the number. Since one fifth of the number is 15, we can multiply 15 by 5 to find the whole number.

15 x 5 = 75

Next, to find two thirds of the number, you multiply the number by 2/3.

75 x 2/3 = 50
