Answer 3

6.6...?

Answer 4

fractions, not decimals

Answer 5

\[5\div \frac{3}{4}=5\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{20}{3}\]

Answer 6

which is \(6\tfrac{2}{3}\) like you had, but we need the fraction
now that we know there are \(\frac{20}{3}\) three quarter cups in five cups, and each one take half a teaspoon, we can multiply
\[\frac{20}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{3}\]

Answer 7

so \(3\tfrac{1}{3}\) teaspoons per for five cups
