To find out how many cookies the baker can bake with 13 1/3 cups of sugar, you can set up a proportion using the amount of sugar needed for 6 cookies.

6 cookies require 2/3 cups of sugar.

x cookies requires 13 1/3 cups of sugar.

6 cookies / 2/3 cups = x cookies / 13 1/3 cups

To solve for x:
x = (6 * 13 1/3) / 2/3
x = (6 * 40/3) / 2/3
x = 240/3 / 2/3
x = 80 / 2
x = 40

Therefore, the baker can bake 40 cookies with 13 1/3 cups of sugar.
