Responses

3/3

1/3
of a cup
1 third of a cup

5/6
of a cup
5 sixths of a cup

46

Answer 1

To find an equivalent amount for \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup of flour, let's analyze the options:

1. \( \frac{3}{3} \) of a cup is equal to 1 cup, which is not equivalent to \( \frac{2}{3} \).
2. \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup is less than \( \frac{2}{3} \), so it's not equivalent.
3. \( \frac{5}{6} \) of a cup is greater than \( \frac{2}{3} \) (because \( \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12} \)), so it is also not equivalent.
4. \( \frac{46}{3} \) of a cup is much greater than \( \frac{2}{3} \).

Therefore, none of the provided options are equivalent to \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup of flour.
