We can add the fractions together to compare with how much sugar she needs.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

So Juvi has [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex] cups of sugar.

She needs [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups, so let's make the denominators the same and compare.

[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{30}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{10}=\frac{27}{30}[/tex]

Since [tex]\frac{27}{30}[/tex] > [tex]\frac{20}{30}[/tex], she has enough sugar to make 4 batches of brownies.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
