To find the value of 4 multiplied by 2/3, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the whole number 4 to a fraction with the same denominator as 2/3.
- Since 4 can be written as 4/1, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3. This gives you 12/3.
Step 2: Multiply the numerators (the numbers on the top) together.
- Multiply 2 (from 2/3) by 12 (from 12/3). This equals 24.
Step 3: Multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together.
- Multiply 3 (from 2/3) by 1 (from 4/1). This equals 3.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible.
- Since 24 and 3 do not have any common factors other than 1, the fraction 24/3 cannot be simplified further.
So, 4 multiplied by 2/3 is equal to 24/3 or simply 8.
