Answer 1

To find an equivalent amount of flour for \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup, we can look at each option given:

1. **\( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup**: This is equivalent to \( \frac{2}{3} \) since \( \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \) when simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

2. **\( \frac{5}{6} \) of a cup**: This is not equivalent to \( \frac{2}{3} \).

3. **\( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup**: This is not equivalent to \( \frac{2}{3} \).

4. **\( \frac{3}{3} \) of a cup**: This is equivalent to \( 1 \) cup, which is not equal to \( \frac{2}{3} \).

Thus, the correct answer regarding the equivalent amount of flour is:

**\( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup**.
