Question

How do I find $\frac{2}{3}$ of a whole number?

Answer 1

Calculate ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of a whole number:

A whole number is a non-negative integer.

$0,1,2,3,....$ are examples of whole numbers.

Let us assume a whole number be $n$.

Now, to find the ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of a whole number, $\frac{2}{3}$ needs to be multiplied by the given number.

So, ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of $n$ can be given by, $\frac{2}{3}\times n=\frac{2n}{3}$.

Let us consider a whole number $108$.

So, the ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of $108$ is $\frac{2\times 108}{3}=\frac{2\times 36}{1}=72$.

Let us consider another example of a whole number $100$.

So, the ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of $100$ is $\frac{2\times 100}{3}=\frac{200}{3}=66\frac{2}{3}$.

Therefore, the ${\frac{2}{3}}^{\mathrm{rd}}$ of a whole number $n$ can be given by $\left(\frac{2n}{3}\right)$.
