**
let x= amt of flour needed
2+2/3=8/3
8x/3=amt of milk needed=3+1/3=10/3 (given)
8x=10
x=10/8=1+1/4
amt of flour needed=1+1/4 cups

If there is only one cup of milk being used then there would be 1/ (2 2/3) cups of flour.
1/ (2 2/3)= 1/ (8/3)= 1* 3/8= 3/8.
But since there is only 1/3 cup of milk, we need to divide by three. so 3/8 / 3= 3/8* 1/3= 3/24= 1/8
Therefore 1/8 cups of flour are needed.
