Question

A baker needs 2 2/3 cups of flour for her recipe, but she only had a 1/3 scoop. How many scoops will she need for the recipe?

Answer 1

Given a baker needs 2 2/3 cups of flour for her recipe.

$2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Now, she only had 1/3 scoops.

The number of scoops she needs for the recipe is

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{3}\times\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{8}{3}\times3 \\ =8 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the given options c is correct.
