Answer 1

She needs to fill the measuring cup

12/18= 2/3 in the 18 measuring cup

Answer 2

`(2)/(3)` times

Explanation:

Number of cups of chopped tomatoes required to make a large omelet = 12

It's given that Tamara has a 18-cup measuring cup.

We need to find how many times should Tamara fill this measuring cup for the tomatoes.

As number of cups of chopped tomatoes required to make a large omelet = 12 , it means she is using 18-cup measuring cup in order to measure 12 cup of chopped tomatoes.

Therefore, Tamara should fill the cup
`(12)/(18)=(2)/(3)` times for the tomatoes.
