-------------
It's not an equation.
There's no equal sign --> not an equation.
-----------
Invert the divisor and multiply.
1/3 inverted = 3
2 2/3 * 3 = 6 6/3 = 6+2
= 8

first writ 2 and 2%2F3 as 2%2B2%2F3 or 6%2F3%2B2%2F3=8%2F3

then divided by 1%2F3

%288%2F3%29%2F%281%2F3%29..multiply outer terms of fractions and write a product as a nominator, and a product of inner terms as a denominator

=%288%2A3%29%2F%283%2A1%29....simplify

=%288%2Across%283%29%29%2F%28cross%283%29%2A1%29

=8%2F1

=8
