To solve this problem, we should set up an equation, letting the unknown number be represented by the variable x.

2/3x = 20

To solve this equation, we just have to divide both sides of it by 2/3, because we are trying to get the variable alone on the left side of the equation.

x = 30

Therefore, the number is 30.
