Answer:

5 loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

Dianna made several loaves of bread yesterday. Each loaf required 2 2/3 cups of flour. All together, she used 13 1/3 cups of flour. How many loaves did Dianna make?

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$2\frac{2}{3}\ cups=\frac{2*3+2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ cups$

$13\frac{1}{3}\ cups=\frac{13*3+1}{3}=\frac{40}{3}\ cups$

step 2

Find out how many loaves did Dianna make , if she used 40/3 cups of flour

we know that

Each loaf required 8/3 cups of flour

Using proportion

Let

x ----> the number of loaves of bread

$\frac{1}{(8/3)}\frac{loaf}{cups\ of\ flour}=\frac{x}{(40/3)}\frac{loaves}{cups\ of\ flour}\\\\x=(40/3)/(8/3)\\\\x=40/8\\\\x=5\ loaves$
