To find out how many dozens of muffins Garnet can make, we need to divide the total amount of flour she has by the amount of flour needed to make one dozen muffins.
The total amount of flour Garnet has is 6 1/3 cups.
The amount of flour needed to make one dozen muffins is 2 1/3 cups.
To divide, we can convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
6 1/3 = (6 * 3 + 1)/3 = 19/3
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1)/3 = 7/3
Now we can divide:
19/3 ÷ 7/3 = 19/3 * 3/7 = 19/7
So Garnet can make 19/7 dozens of muffins.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 1:
19/7 ÷ 1/1 = 19/7
Therefore, Garnet can make 19/7 = 2 5/7 dozens of muffins.
So the correct answer is D. 2 5/7.
