Question

Everett and Marie are going to make brownies for their family reunion. They want to make 4 times the amount the recipe makes. If the recipe calls for 2/3 cup of oil, how much oil will they need?

Answer 1

8/3 cups or 2 2/3
2/3 × 4/1 = 8/3
if u divide 3 into 8 it gives u 2 times with 2 places left
the 2 places equal 2/3  
2 whole OR 6/3 + 2/3 = 8/3 OR 2 and 2/3
