    She needs 4 yards.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To multiply fractions, you just multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction.

    The numerator is the top number of a fraction.

    The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.

    You can think of the whole number 6 as the fraction 6/1.

    Step 1

    Multiply 6/1 by 2/3

    6x2=12

    1x3=3

    So, 6/1x2/3=12/3

    Step 2

    Now you need to simplify the fraction

    Because the numerator is a muliple (number that can be devided by) of 3, devide the numerator by the denominator.

    12:3=4

    So betty needs 4 yards of fabric to make 6 skirts.
