Answer 1

Improper fraction = 10/3 cups

Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups

Explanation:

Given;

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies

Rate = 2/3 cup per batch

To make 5 batches, he would need;

Amount = number of batches × rate per batch

Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch

Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups
