two and two-thirds

Answer 1

The amount of white sugar is two-thirds of a cup and the amount of brown sugar is one-fourth of a cup.

To find the quotient, we divide two-thirds by one-fourth.

Since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, we can rewrite this as:

(2/3) / (1/4) = (2/3) * (4/1) = 8/3 = 2 and 2/3

Therefore, the quotient is two and two-thirds.
