x - the number

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x=16 \\ x=16 \times \frac{3}{2} \\ x=8 \times 3 \\ x=24[/tex]

2/3 of 24 is 16.

Let the unknown number equal x.
(2/3)x = 16 
You can get rid of the fractions by multiplying both sides by 3.
3(2/3)x = 16(3)
2x = 48
Then divide both sides by 2.
2/2 = 1                          48/2 = 24
x = 24

2/3 of 24 is 16

You can double check by multiplying 2/3 times 24. This is 16. So we are correct.
