Since you making "4 times" the recipe, you need to multiply 3 2/3 by 4.
First convert the mixed number 3 2/3 to an improper fraction.
3 2/3 = 11/3
So 3 2/3 * 4 = (11/3) * 4 = 44/3 (Tablespoons).
Now, convert the improper fraction 44/3 to a mixed number. 44 divided by 3 = 14 and remainder of 2. So 44/3 = 14 2/3 (Tablespoons)
