Six times two ninth

1 answer

To calculate six times two ninths, you can set it up as follows:

\[ 6 \times \frac{2}{9} \]

Now, multiply:

\[ \frac{6 \times 2}{9} = \frac{12}{9} \]

To simplify \( \frac{12}{9} \), divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

\[ \frac{12 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{4}{3} \]

So, six times two ninths is \( \frac{4}{3} \) or approximately 1.33.
