Where did 2300 come from?

lgbasallote · Answer

6900/3

lgbasallote · Answer

$$\frac 23 \times 6900 \implies 2 \div 3 \times 6900 \implies 6900 \div 3 \times 2$$
it really doesnt make any difference

lgbasallote · Answer

i just divided first so i have a smaller number to multiply so it will be easier to compute mentally hehe

Ok thanks I knew the answer already because they were given to us I just had to find out how to get the answers.. So just divide the denominator by 6900?

lgbasallote · Answer

$$\frac 23 \times 6900 \implies \frac{2 \times 6900}{3}$$
