For this case we have that Patty has:


1 \frac {1} {3} = \frac {3 * 1 + 1} {3} = \frac {3 + 1} {3} = \frac {4} {3} = 1.33

Banana cups

If she wants to make two loaves of banana bread, she needs:


\frac {3} {4} + \frac {3} {4} = \frac {3 + 3} {4} = \frac {6} {4} = \frac {3} {2} = 1.5

banana cups

So, you don't have enough banana to make two loaves of banana bread.

Answer:

Patty doesn't have enough banana to make two loaves of banana bread.
