So,

First we convert \(9 \frac{1}{3}\) into fraction form.
\(9 \frac{1}{3} --\ \textgreater \ \frac{28}{3}\)

28 divided by 2 is 14. So Carol will need 14 plastic bags.

Answer:  Carol needs 14 plastic bags.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Carol makes \(9\dfrac{1}{3}\) cups of snacks mix. She puts all the snack mix into plastic bags and she puts \(\dfrac{2}{3}\) cup of the snack mix in each bag.

We are to find the number of plastic bags that Carol needs.

Let, n be the number of plastic bags that Carol needs.

Then, according to the given information, we have

\(n\times \dfrac{2}{3}=9\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2n}{3}=\dfrac{28}{3}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{28\times 3}{3\times 2}\\\\\\\Rightarrow n=14.\)

Thus, Carol needs 14 plastic bags.
