The video tutorial explains how to multiply 2/3 by 6 using two different methods. The first method involves adding six 2/3 together, which is equivalent to multiplying 2 by 6 and then dividing by 3, resulting in 4. The second method uses a number line to visualize taking 2/3 of 6, which also results in 4. Both methods demonstrate that 2/3 times 6 equals 4, providing a conceptual understanding of fractions and multiplication.
