The ratio of sugar to chips is
1 1/3 : 1 = 4/3 : 1

If 1 2/3 cups of sugar (5/3 cups) are used, then the number of cups x of chips needed can be found using the proportion

(4/3):1 = (5/3):x



"cross multiply" to solve.

Another way to set up the proportion is to compare the amount of sugar being used to the amount in the recipe:



And again cross multiply to solve.
