Question

Find: 2/3 of (i) 18 and (ii) 27

Answer 1

Question {i):

$\dfrac{2}{3} \text { of } 18$

$= \dfrac{2}{3} \times 18$

$= \dfrac{2 \times 18 }{3}$

$= \dfrac{36}{3}$

$= \dfrac{36 \div 3}{3 \div 3}$

$= 12$

Question (ii):

$\dfrac{2}{3} \text { of } 27$

$= \dfrac{2}{3} \times 27$

$= \dfrac{2 \times 27}{3}$

$= \dfrac{54}{3}$

$= \dfrac{54 \div 3}{3 \div 3}$

$= 18$

Answer 2

1)

$\dfrac{2}{3} \: of \: 18$

$\dfrac{2}{3} \times 18$
