Answer:

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.

Explanation:

A recipe needs
3\,(2)/(3) cups of flour
\left((11)/(3)\right), whereas Earl made use of
7 \,(1)/(3) cups
\left((22)/(3) \right). The number of equivalent recipies is determined by simple rule of three:


x = ((22)/(3) )/((11)/(3) )


x = 2\,recipes

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.
