Answer 2

The answer is: [C]: " 2

________________________________
Note:
________________________________
Recipe calls for "
`(2)/(3)`" cup milk.

If we make " 3
`(1)/(2)` times" the recipe;
The recipe will need "3
`(1)/(2)` times the amount of milk ;
or: "{ 3
`(1)/(2)` *
`(2)/(3)` }" cups milk.

Note: "3
`(1)/(2)`" =


`((2*3)+1)/(2)` =
`((6 +1))/(2)` =
`(7)/(2)` ;
_____________________________________________________
→
`(7)/(2)` *
`(2)/(3)` cups ;

=
`(7*2)/(2*3)` ;

=
`(14)/(6)` ;

=
`(14/2)/(6/2)` ;

=
`(7)/(3)` cups;

→ Write as a mixed number: " 2
`(2)/(3)` cups" ;

→ which is: "Answer choice: [C]: " 2
`(2)/(3)` " .
