Recipe calls for "$\frac{2}{3}$" cup milk.

If we make " 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ times" the recipe;  
The recipe will need "3 $\frac{1}{2}$ times the amount of milk ;
 or:   "{ 3 $\frac{1}{2}$  *  $\frac{2}{3}$ }"  cups milk.

Note:  "3 $\frac{1}{2}$"  =
 
  $\frac{(2*3)+1}{2}$ = $\frac{(6 +1)}{2}$  =  $\frac{7}{2}$ ;
_____________________________________________________
     →  $\frac{7}{2}$ * $\frac{2}{3}$ cups ;

        =$\frac{7*2}{2*3}$ ;

        =$\frac{14}{6}$  ;

        =$\frac{14/2}{6/2}$  ;
 
        =$\frac{7}{3}$ cups;

          → Write as a mixed number:  " 2 $\frac{2}{3}$  cups" ;

             →  which is:  "Answer choice:  [C]:  " 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ " .
