Explanation:

Step1: Identify the flour quantity for one recipe

The original recipe uses $\frac{2}{3}$ cup of flour.

Step2: Calculate the quantity for a triple recipe

To find the quantity for a triple recipe, we multiply the original quantity by 3. So we calculate $3\times\frac{2}{3}$.
Simplifying this, the 3 in the numerator and the 3 in the denominator cancel out, leaving us with 2.
