Let

x = 0.66666.. x=0.66666.. \implies 10 x = 6.66666... 10x=6.66666...

Now : 10 x x = 6.66666... 0.66666... = 6 9 x = 6 10x-x=6.66666...-0.66666... =6\\ \implies 9x=6

So, x = 2 3 \color{#20A900} {x=\dfrac{2}{3}}

So, 27 × x = 2 3 × 27 = 18 27\times x=\dfrac{2}{3} \times 27=\color{#3D99F6} {\boxed{18}}

0.66..=2/3, so

2/3 * 27/1 = 2/1 * 9/1 = 18/1 = 18

0.66666.......=2/3

2/3*27=18
