Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

It's asking '2/3 of what number is 18", we can set up an equation...

(2/3)x = 18        where x represents the unknown number...now solve for x

 2x/3 = 18        (simplify the equation)

    2x = 54        (multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction)

      x = 27        (divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x value)
