Yes, she can use the cup because for 6 batches she needs exactly 4 cups of warm water.

Can she make 6 batches?

She has a single cup with no markings, so she will only be able to use that cup if the total amount of water needed is a whole number.

The first way to check this is that the denominator on the water need per batch is a factor of the number of batches, so with that, we already know that she can use the cup.

But let's also check this explicitly.

Each batch needs 2/3 of a cup of water.

Then for 6 batches, she needs 6 times that amount, it will be:

6*(2/3) cups = 4 cups.

So she can use the cup.
