Answer:

2/3 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 cups of flour: 1 cup of sugar

2 cups of flour: x cup of sugar

Cross multiply

3 3

x = 2/3

My answer is correct because every 3 cups of flour is a full cup (1) but because he has 2 cups of flour, the cup of sugar is going to be less than 1 because 3 cups of flour is bigger than 2 cups of flour.
