To find out how many bricks Juan needs, we first need to calculate the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.

The length of the garden is 6 2/3 feet, which can be converted to an improper fraction as (6*3+2)/3 = 20/3 feet.
The width of the garden is 2 2/3 feet, which can be converted to an improper fraction as (2*3+2)/3 = 8/3 feet.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(length + width).
Substituting the values, we have P = 2((20/3) + (8/3)).
Simplifying, we get P = 2(28/3), which is equal to 56/3 feet.

Now we need to figure out how many bricks Juan needs to cover this perimeter.
Each brick is 2/3 feet long.

To find the number of bricks Juan needs, we divide the perimeter of the garden by the length of each brick.
So, (56/3) / (2/3) = (56/3) * (3/2).
Canceling out the common factor of 3, we get (56/1) * (1/2) = 56/2 = 28.

Therefore, Juan needs 28 bricks to put around the garden.
