Question

Find the product. (p. 756)

$\frac{2}{3}\times 27$

Short answer

The product is18.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1 – Given

The given expression is $\frac{2}{3}\times 27$

Step-2 – To determine

We have to find the product of expression $\frac{2}{3}\times 27$

Step-3 – Calculation

We first break all the numbers into its factors and then try to cancel out the same numerator & denominator. So it is:

$\frac{2}{3}\times 27=\frac{2}{3}\times 3\times 9$

Since 3 is in both in the numerator and denominator, so it will cancel out.

$\frac{2}{3}\times 3\times 9=2\times 9=18$
