The most common process is to divide 2/3 by 8

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \div 8=12[/tex]

Which means there 12 cups of 2/3 in 8 cups of vegetables.

Therefore, to find how many tortillas she can fill, additionally to her process, she can divide the result of her division by 2, as follows

[tex]\frac{1}{3} \div 8=24 \implies \frac{24}{2} =12[/tex]
