(2)/(3) \text { cups = } 1 \text { batch}

----------------------------------------------
Find 1 cup :
----------------------------------------------


1 \text { cup = } 1 / (2)/(3) \text { batch}


1 \text { cup = } 1 * (3)/(2) \text { batch}


1 \text { cup = } (3)/(2) \text { batch}

----------------------------------------------
Find 4 cups :
----------------------------------------------

4 \text { cups = } (3)/(2) * 4 \text { batch}


4 \text { cups = } \6 \text { batches}
