2/3 is a positive real number. The absolute value of any positive real number is just the number itself. I.e. the absolute value of 2/3 is 2/3.

Answer:

2 1/3

Explanation:

Absolute value is how far away from zero a number is on a number line. If you have the number 2 1/3, that number is 2 1/3 away from zero on the number line, so the number stays the same after absolute valuing it. Even if you have a negative number, the the absolute value of that number will be positive.
