So, First we convert
9 (1)/(3) into fraction form.
9 (1)/(3) --\ \textgreater \ (28)/(3) 28 divided by 2 is 14. So Carol will need 14 plastic bags.

Answer: Carol needs 14 plastic bags.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Carol makes
9(1)/(3) cups of snacks mix. She puts all the snack mix into plastic bags and she puts
(2)/(3) cup of the snack mix in each bag.

We are to find the number of plastic bags that Carol needs.

Let, n be the number of plastic bags that Carol needs.

Then, according to the given information, we have


n* (2)/(3)=9(1)/(3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow (2n)/(3)=(28)/(3)\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=(28* 3)/(3* 2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=14.

Thus, Carol needs 14 plastic bags.
