6 x 2/3 is the same as to say 6/1 x 2/3.
Therefore, you may multiply the numerators and denominator to obtain a new fraction. Do the same to both terms.
%286%282%2F3%29%29%2A%282%283%2F4%29%29
%2812%2F3%29%2A%286%2F4%29
Now you have two fractions.
Can you simplify either or both of them?
Yes.
4%2A%283%2F2%29
Can you see what I did here?
12/3=4; 6/4=3/2 when you divide the numerator & denominator by 2
Now, remember that:
4*(3/2) is the same as to say (4/1)*(3/2), so...
4%2A%283%2F2%29=%2812%2F2%29
Now simplify (12/2)...
I'll let you figure this one out. :) That would be your final result.
