Answer:


(2)/(3)

Explanation:

multiplying a number by 2 and dividing it by 3.. let's think for a moment

take the equation: 2x/3

dividing is the same as multiplying by a fraction, so let's take the "divide by 3" and turn it into a fraction!

new equation: 2x*
(1)/(3)

now, we can take the coefficient, 2, and slap it onto the top of the fraction

equation: x*
(2)/(3)

boom! I hope this helped you
