To find the value of $$ a $$ in the equation:

$$
\frac{11}{3} \times a = 6
$$

follow these steps:

1. **Start with the given equation:**
   
   $$
   \frac{11}{3} \times a = 6
   $$

2. **Isolate $$ a $$ by dividing both sides of the equation by $$ \frac{11}{3} $$:**
   
   $$
   a = \frac{6}{\frac{11}{3}}
   $$

3. **Simplify the division by multiplying by the reciprocal of $$ \frac{11}{3} $$:**
   
   $$
   a = 6 \times \frac{3}{11} = \frac{18}{11}
   $$

4. **Convert the fraction to a mixed number (optional):**
   
   $$
   \frac{18}{11} = 1 \frac{7}{11}
   $$

5. **Or as a decimal (optional):**
   
   $$
   \frac{18}{11} \approx 1.636
   $$

**Final Answer:**

$$
a = \frac{18}{11}
$$
$$ a = \frac{18}{11} $$
