Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of slabs of butter

y ----> the number of  cups of butter

we know that

The ratio is

[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

so

[tex]x=y[/tex]

That means-----> The number of slabs of butter must be equal to the number of cups of butter

In this problem

we have

[tex]y=1\frac{2}{3}\ cups[/tex]

Remember that

[tex]x=y[/tex]

so

The number of slabs of butter needed must be equal to the number of cups of butter

therefore

[tex]x=1\frac{2}{3}\ slabs[/tex]
