Final answer:

To find out how much cheese Andrew needs for 3 tacos, simply multiply 2/3 cup, the amount for one taco, by 3. The result is 2 cups of cheese required for 3 tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total amount of cheese needed to make 3 tacos when the recipe calls for 2/3 cup of cheese per taco. To find the solution, we multiply the amount of cheese needed for one taco by the number of tacos Andrew wants to make.



  1. Multiply the amount of cheese for one taco by the number of tacos: (2/3) cup × 3 tacos = 2 cups of cheese.



Andrew will need a total of 2 cups of cheese to make 3 tacos.
