Sergei uses 4 cups of ice cream to make 3 milk shakes.

Number of cups needed to make 1 milkshake is calculated as,


No.\text{ of cups }(4)/(3)

Number of cups needed to make 5 milk shakes is calculated as,


5*(4)/(3)\text{ = }(20)/(3)\text{ = 6}(2)/(3)

Thus the number of cups required to make 5 milkshakes is


6(2)/(3)
