Hello there! :D
Today we're gonna learn some math, whoopie!
Alright, so we want to know how many 2/3 cups can go into 9 cups!
Firstly, I want to turn 9 cups into a fraction with the denominator of 3.
Let me do it all fancy for you:
![9=\frac{x}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B3%7D)
We know we want the denominator to be three, now we just need to do the opposite action (multiplication) to the other side to find what "x" is!
![9*3= \frac{x}{3}*3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9%2A3%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B3%7D%2A3)
If you have trouble understanding that step, let me know!
![x=27](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D27)
Enter that into the fraction and we have:
![\frac{27}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B27%7D%7B3%7D)
Notice that 27 is not an even number!
Now, we can the numerator of 27/3s and divide it by the numerator of 2/3s.
![27/2=13.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=27%2F2%3D13.5)
This is not a whole answer, but the question is asking how many 2/3 cups can go into nine cups. Half of a 2/3 cup does not equal a 2/3 cup, so the answer would be 13 cups.
I hope this helps you can you have a wonderful day,
