Answer:

4 cups of apple slices.

Explanation:

A recipe calls for
2(2)/(3) cups of apple slices.

Zoe wants to use
1(1)/(2) times this amount.

We will multiply the amount of apple slices to
1(1)/(2)


2(2)/(3) ×
1(1)/(2)

=
(8)/(3) ×
(3)/(2)

=
(24)/(6)

= 4 cups

Zoe will use 4 cups of apple slices.
