Answer 1

To find an equivalent amount for \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup of flour, we can use the following steps:

1. Convert \( \frac{2}{3} \) to a decimal for easier comparison if needed: \[ \frac{2}{3} = 0.6667 \text{ (approximately)} \]

2. Let's check the options one by one:

• \( \frac{5}{6} \) of a cup: \[ \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333 \text{ (not equivalent)} \]

• \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup: \[ \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.3333 \text{ (not equivalent)} \]

• \( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup: \[ \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ (equivalent)} \]

• \( \frac{3}{3} \) of a cup: \[ \frac{3}{3} = 1 \text{ (not equivalent)} \]

From this analysis, the equivalent amount of flour for \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup is \( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup.
