Find out how many eagles per ton hay costs:

(4/5 eagle)/ 1/6 ton  =  6/1  *  4/5   =   24/5  =  4.8 eagles per ton

THEN  2/3 ton would cost:

 

2/3 ton  *  24/5  eagles/ton =  (24*2) /(5*3) = 48/15 = 16/5 = 3.2 eagles

2/3 or  4/6  of a ton of hay costs 4 times as much as  1/6 of a ton of hay, which is 3 1/5 of an eagles!
