Answer: 3 1/9 cups of vinegar

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Payton uses 1 1/2 cups of vinegar in her salad dressing recipe.

To know how much vinegar Payton would use to make 4 2/3 recipes, we divide 4 2/3 by 1 1/2. This will be:

= 4 2/3 ÷ 1 1/2

= 14/3 ÷ 3/2

= 14/3 × 2/3

= 28/9

= 3 1/9 cups of vinegar
