Answer 1

To rename the fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \) as a whole number times a unit fraction, we first express \( \frac{2}{3} \) in a suitable form.

A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1. We can express \( \frac{2}{3} \) as:

\[
\frac{2}{3} = 2 \times \frac{1}{3}
\]

Now substituting this into the original expression gives:

\[
54 \times \frac{2}{3} = 54 \times \left( 2 \times \frac{1}{3} \right)
\]

This can be simplified by rearranging the terms:

\[
54 \times \frac{2}{3} = (54 \times 2) \times \frac{1}{3} = 108 \times \frac{1}{3}
\]

So, the expression \( 54 \times \frac{2}{3} \) can be written as:

\[
108 \times \frac{1}{3}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\[
=
108 \times \frac{1}{3}
\]
