To find out how much yarn Kylie needs, you can multiply the length of each piece of yarn by the number of pieces she needs to cut.

Given that each piece of yarn is 2/3 foot long and Kylie needs to cut 6 pieces, you can multiply 2/3 by 6 as follows:

(2/3) * 6

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. So, we have:

(2 * 6) / (3 * 1)

Simplifying:

12 / 3

This equals 4.

Therefore, Kylie needs 4 feet of yarn.
