    The first thing to do is turn this into an equation:

    2/3 : 10

    10 as a fraction is 10/1

    2/3 : 10/1 =

    Fractional division is just fractional multiplication after switching the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction:

    2/3 X 10/1

    Fractional multiplication is simply multiplying the numerators by each other, and the denominators by each other:

    2 X 10 = 20

    3 X 1 = 3

    20/3

    Each piece of liquorice will be 20/3 or 6 2/3 of a yard long.
