Use the method of keep, change flip.
Keep the first fraction (2/3) the same.
Change the divide to a times.
Flip the second fraction from 2/6 to 6/2.
The calculation is now 2/3 x 6/2
Multiply the numerators (2 x 6 = 12)
Multiply the denominators (3 x 2 = 6)
Write new fraction 12/6
Simplify to answer of 2
