Given:

Quantity of milk used = 4⅓ cups

The recipe asks for 2⅔ times as much milk as flour.

Let's find the amount of floor that would then be needed according to the recipe.

To find the quantity of floor needed, we have:


F=4(1)/(3)/2(2)/(3)

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:


F=(13)/(3)/(8)/(3)

Change the division sign to mutiplication and flip the fraction on the right:


F=(13)/(3)\ast(3)/(8)=(13)/(8)=1(5)/(8)

Therefore, the quantity of flour that would be needed according to the recipe is 1⅝ cups.

ANSWER:


1(5)/(8)\text{ cups of floor}
