To find the product of expression $\frac{2}{3}\times 27$

Answer to Problem 8PSQ

18

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Expression $\frac{2}{3}\times 27$

Formula / Concept Used: Factorization

Calculation:

To find the product, break all numbers into its factors and then cancel out the same numerator & denominator. So here -

  $\frac{2}{3}\times 27=\frac{2}{3}\times 3\times 9$

Writing 27 as product of its factors. Since 3 is in both numerator& denominator, it cancels out-

  $\frac{2}{3}\times 3\times 9=2\times 9=18$

Conclusion-
