The quantity of gummy peaches for one recipe is \(1\frac{1}{3}\) cups.

Step2: Multiply by 3 for a triple recipe

To find the quantity for a triple recipe, we multiply \(1\frac{1}{3}\) by 3. First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: \(1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\). Then, \(\frac{4}{3}\times3 = 4\).
