Answer:

13 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the ratio of cup a to cup b:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} : 1 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

To find out how much of cup b we need after using 4 cups of cup a, we can divide 4 by the ratio of cup a:

4 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 8

So we need to multiply the ratio of cup b by 8:

8 * [tex]1 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] =  13 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Meaning that

13 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of cup b is needed.

Hope this helps!
