Assumption:
.6x be the 60% of a number
Equation:
.6x = 2/3
1.8x=2
x=2/1.8
x=10/9
Therefore, the value of the original number is 10/9.

60%<----->2/3
100%<--->(100 / 60) x 2 / 3
= (5 / 3) x (2 / 3)
= 10 / 9
Original number = 10 / 9

2/3=60%x, where x is the original number
2/3=3/5x
x=2/3*5/3=10/9=1.1111ANS.

Always try and write an equation to translate the word problem.
2/3*x=.6
x=1.1111

You use this equation:
2/3 = 0.60*x.
Now solve for x:
x = 2/(3*.6) = 2/1.8 = 1.1111111111111... or, 10/9.

ok 2/3 x = .6 so x = 3/2 * .6 = .9
ok, mine is wrong, the one below is right
