Multiply 2/3 * 5 to find out how many cups she used

Write 5 as a fraction with denominator 1
(5/1)(2/3)

Combine 5/1 and 2/3 to get (5⋅2)/3.

5⋅2/3

Multiply 5 by 2 to get 10.

10/3

Exact Form:
10/3

Decimal Form:
3.33333333...

Mixed Number Form:
3 1/3

She used 3 1/3 cups of oatmeal.

5 batches
2/3 cup per batch
so
5 times 2/3=5/1 times 2/3=10/3=3 and 1/3 cups of oatmeal

answer is 3 and 1/3 cups
