To solve this problem, you first need to determine how many desserts he can make with 2/3 cup of berries. Once you have this number, you will divide the total amount of berries he has by the amount needed for each dessert to find the final answer.

Start by converting the mixed number 2/3 into a fraction with the same denominator. In this case, the denominator is 3. Therefore, 2/3 can be written as 2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9.

Next, divide the total amount of berries by the amount needed for each dessert. In this case, divide 6/9 (total amount of berries) by 6/9 (amount needed per dessert). When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, 6/9 / 6/9 is the same as 6/9 * 9/6.

Cancel out the 6s and the 9s to simplify the expression.

You are left with 1 dessert.

Therefore, the chef can make 1 dessert with the 6 cups of berries he has.
