Lola is making cookies. She plans to multiply the recipe by 3 so she can make enough cookies for the whole class. If the recipe calls for \(\frac{2}{3}\) cup of sugar, will she need more than \(\frac{2}{3}\) or less than \(\frac{2}{3}\) cup of sugar to make all the cookies?
Peter is planning on spending \(\frac{2}{3}\) as many hours watching television this week as he did last week. Is Peter going to spend more hours or fewer hours watching television this week?

A scale model is a representation of an object with the same shape as the real object. Models can be larger or smaller than the actual object but are often smaller.
Architects often make scale models of the buildings or structures they plan to build. Models can give them an idea of how the structure will look when finished. Each measurement of the building is scaled up or down by the same factor.
Bob is building a scale model of his bike. He wants his model to be \(\frac{1}{5}\) as long as his bike.
