It cannot be between 3 and 4 because 2/3 is less than 1. You cannot end up with a larger number than 3 in this case. Similarly, it cannot be less than 2/3 because you are multiplying it by 3, which is larger than your first number.
Therefore, it has to be between 3 and 2/3 because you are taking two thirds of 3, which is 2.
