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

You need to flip the second fraction and then multiply
2/3 x 6/2
You would multiply the numerators and then the denominators
answer: 12/6
You then need to simplify
answer: 2

Easiest way to solve is through the βKeep Switch Flipβ method, which is:
So, applying this, we would have
β2/3 times 6/2 (you can simplify that to 3β.
This gives us 12/6, which equals to 2.
So 2 is the final answer.
