    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the answer, you must divide the amount of potatoes you have by the amount required for each recipe.

    5 / 3/4

    Follow these steps to do so

    5/1 / 3/4 make 5 into a fraction

    5/1 * 4/3 multiply by the reciprocal

    5*4=20 1*3=3 multiply then numerators and the denominators

    20/3 put the products back into the fraction

    6 2/3 convert to a mixed number

    If Zoe only wants to make full recipes she can make 6, but if she doesn't mind making partial recipes then the answer is 6 2/3
