Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3

=>If 8/3 = 1/6

x =1

1/6x = 8/3 ( Divide both sides by 1/6 )

___ ___

1/6 1/6

(By cross-multiplying the numerators and denominators)

=> 1×6 8×6

___ x = ___

6×1 3×1

Cancelling out , we have

x = 8×2

____ = 8×2 = 16

1 × 1

The final answer becomes 16

Hope it helps.
