Answer:

There are 9 knots tied in the rope.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert 2/3 feet into a decimal. We can do this by dividing 2 by 3:

2 ÷ 3 = 0.66666667

Now that we have the decimal equivalent of 2/3 feet, we can divide the length of the rope by this distance:

6 ÷ 0.66666667 = 9 knots

Therefore, there are 9 knots tied in the rope.
