20 servings / 4 servings = 5 times as much.

Multiply the amount needed for 4 servings by 5:

2/3 cups x 5 = 10/3 = 3 1/3 cups total

Answer:

$3\frac{1}{3}\text{ cups}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cups of flour required for 4 servings = $\frac{2}{3}$

So, the cups required for 1 serving = $\frac{2}{12}$

Thus,

The cups of flour required for 20 serving = 20 × cups required for 1 serving

$=20\times \frac{2}{12}$

$=\frac{40}{12}$

$=\frac{10}{3}$

$=3\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, SECOND option is correct.
