That's 4 divided by 2/3

4 ÷ (2/3) = 4 × (3/2) = (4/2)×3 = 2×3 = 6

Answer: 6

Explanation:

Since there are 4 bars, we divide this by the amount (2/3) to find the number of people.

4÷ 2/3

*2/3 gets flipped to become 3/2

4 x 3/2= 6

4 got cancelled out by the denominator 2 to give us 2 (4/2=2)

So, 2 x 3= 6

Answer: 6 people
