Answer:

13
(1)/(3)

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the ratio of cup a to cup b:


(1)/(2) : 1 (2)/(3)

To find out how much of cup b we need after using 4 cups of cup a, we can divide 4 by the ratio of cup a:

4 ÷
(1)/(2) = 8

So we need to multiply the ratio of cup b by 8:

8 *
1 (2)/(3) = 13
(1)/(3)

Meaning that

13
(1)/(3) cups of cup b is needed.

Hope this helps!
