Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

The original amount of nutmeg is given as \( 2\frac{1}{3} \) TBSP. To convert this mixed number to an improper fraction:

  • Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3): \( 2 \times 3 = 6 \).
  • Add the numerator (1): \( 6 + 1 = 7 \).
  • The improper fraction is \( \frac{7}{3} \) TBSP.
Step 2: Verify the improper fraction

The improper fraction for \( 2\frac{1}{3} \) TBSP is \( \frac{7}{3} \) TBSP. This matches the first option provided in the question.

Step 3: Calculate the doubled amount

To find the doubled amount of nutmeg:

  • Multiply the improper fraction \( \frac{7}{3} \) by 2: \( \frac{7}{3} \times 2 = \frac{14}{3} \) TBSP.
  • The doubled amount is \( \frac{14}{3} \) TBSP.

Final Answer

For Question 13: \( \boxed{\frac{7}{3}} \)
For Question 14: \( \boxed{\frac{14}{3}} \)
