Is that 32%2F3 cups?
...
Convert to improper fraction
3x3 = 9 + 2 = 11; so 3%282%2F3%29+=+11%2F3
...
2%2811%2F3%29+=+22%2F3
Converting back to a mixed fraction
3 goes into 22, 7 times evenly, with 1 left over
...
highlight_green%287%281%2F3%29%29cups in the doubled recipe.
...
Alternatively,
3%282%2F3%29+%2B+3%282%2F3%29++=+6%284%2F3%29+=+7%281%2F3%29
