Answer

-0.2263

Work Step by Step

From the change of base formula, we know that $log_{b}a=\frac{log_{c}a}{log_{c}b}$ ($a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive real numbers and neither $b$ nor $c$ is equal to 1). Therefore, $log_{6}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{log_{10}\frac{2}{3}}{log_{10}6}=\frac{-0.1761}{0.7782}=-0.2263$.
