She will be able to make $= 6 \frac{2}{3}$ $=6 2/3$ recipe

Explanation:

Quantity of Potatoes Zoe has $= 5$ $=5$ pounds

quantity required for each recipe $= \frac{3}{4}$ $=3/4$

$\frac{3}{4}$ $3/4$ pounds of potatoes for $= 1$ $=1$ recipe
1 pound of potatoes for $= 1 \div \frac{3}{4} = 1 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$ $=1 -: 3/4=1 xx 4/3=4/3$ recipe
5 pound of potatoes for $= \frac{4}{3} \times 5 = \frac{20}{3} = 6 \frac{2}{3}$ $=4/3 xx 5=20/3=6 2/3$ recipe
