Answer:

6

Explanation:

lets put this in terms of 3, because of 2/3. the number above the three will be divided by three to get to four. So if we multiply three by four to get twelve, we can put that over 3, and then find our answer. 12/3=4, so we know that is correct. and since we need to find how many 2/3 pieces we need, we divide 12/3 by 2/3 to get 6. so you need 6 2/3 pieces to get four wholes.

Divide 4 wholes by 2/3 pieces to fnd number of pieces.

4 / 2/3

When you divide by a fraction, flip the fraction over then multiply:

4 x 3/2 = (4 x 3)/2 = 12/2 = 6

There are 6 pieces.
