Recipe calls for "[tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex]" cup milk.

If we make " 3 [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] times" the recipe;  
The recipe will need "3 [tex] \frac{1}{2}[/tex] times the amount of milk ;
 or:   "{ 3 [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]  *  [tex] \frac{2}{3}[/tex] }"  cups milk.

Note:  "3 [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]"  =
 
  [tex] \frac{(2*3)+1}{2} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{(6 +1)}{2} [/tex]  =  [tex] \frac{7}{2}[/tex] ;
_____________________________________________________
     →  [tex] \frac{7}{2} [/tex] * [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex] cups ;

        =[tex] \frac{7*2}{2*3} [/tex] ;

        =[tex] \frac{14}{6} [/tex]  ;

        =[tex] \frac{14/2}{6/2} [/tex]  ;
 
        =[tex] \frac{7}{3} [/tex] cups;

          → Write as a mixed number:  " 2 [tex] \frac{2}{3}[/tex]  cups" ;

             →  which is:  "Answer choice:  [C]:  " 2 [tex] \frac{2}{3}[/tex] " .
