The complete question is

The most common process is to divide 2/3 by 8

`(2)/(3) / 8=12`

Which means there 12 cups of 2/3 in 8 cups of vegetables.

Therefore, to find how many tortillas she can fill, additionally to her process, she can divide the result of her division by 2, as follows

`(1)/(3) / 8=24 \implies (24)/(2) =12`

Becuase, she needs 2/3 cups, and she intially divided by 1/3
