Question

What times 3 equals 2?

Answer 1

3x=2
divide both sides by 3
3x/3=2/3
1x=2/3
x=2/3
what=2/3

Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we should do is define a variable.

We have then:

• x: unknown number.

We write the equation that models the problem:

$3x = 2$

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$x = \frac {2} {3}$

Answer:

$\frac {2} {3}$ times 3 equals 2
