Answer 2

6
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

From the question above; you and four of your friends makes 5 people

So we need to get the number of cups of soup we will need for 5 people.

But also from the question, it says; each person would like to eat 1 1/3 cup of soup

Lets change 1 1/3 to improper fraction

1 1/3 = 4/3

To get the number we will need for 5 people, we will simply multiply 5 by 4/3

5 × 4/3 = 20 /3 = 6 2/3

Therefore, 6 2/3 cups of soup will be needed to make a soup for me and my friends
