Answer: Jane needs 1 11/ 12 cups of flour more to make the cookie dough

Explanation:

Recipe for cookie dough= 3 2/3cups of flour

Amount of flour available for Jane = 1 3/4 cups of flour

Amount of flour Jane needs to add to make cookie dough

=3 2/3 - 1 3/4

changing to improper fraction to make it easier to subtract

11/3 -7/4 = (44- 21)/12 = 23/12 = 1 11/12 cups of flour
