To amend a country's constitution, 2/9 of the 60 states in that country must approve the amendment. If 14 states approve an amendment, will the constitution be amended?

1) If it's necessary 2/9 of 60 states, then it is a multiplication:

2/9 x 60 = 40/3 =13.333 or 13 3/9 ≅ 13

2) So, yes if 14 states approve it the constitution will be amended.
