Final answer:

The exact number of desserts that can be made using two-thirds of the beers cannot be determined without knowing the total number of beers the chef initially had. Assuming the amount is known, you use two-thirds of the beers and divide by the number of beers required per dessert to find the total number of desserts that can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many desserts you can make, we need to know the total number of beers the chef had initially. Since the question does not provide that number, it's not possible to give an exact answer.

However, if we assume the chef has a certain number of beers, you can apply the fraction provided. For instance, if the chef starts with 6 beers and you use two-thirds, that would be 4 beers used for making desserts. Depending on how many beers are needed per dessert, you could calculate the total number of desserts possible. If it's one beer per dessert, then you could make 4 desserts.
