1. **State the problem:** Harry needs more than $6 \frac{2}{5}$ cups of flour. He currently has $1 \frac{2}{3}$ cups and borrows flour in scoops of $\frac{1}{3}$ cup each from Dan. We want to find how many scoops $x$ Dan needs to add so that Harry has more than $6 \frac{2}{5}$ cups.
2. **Write the inequality:**
$$\frac{1}{3}x + 1 \frac{2}{3} > 6 \frac{2}{5}$$
3. **Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:**
$$1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$$
$$6 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{32}{5}$$
4. **Rewrite the inequality with improper fractions:**
$$\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} > \frac{32}{5}$$
5. **Subtract $\frac{5}{3}$ from both sides:**
$$\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{3} > \frac{32}{5} - \frac{5}{3}$$
$$\frac{1}{3}x > \frac{32}{5} - \frac{5}{3}$$
6. **Find common denominator for right side:**
The denominators are 5 and 3, so common denominator is 15.
$$\frac{32}{5} = \frac{32 \times 3}{15} = \frac{96}{15}$$
$$\frac{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 5}{15} = \frac{25}{15}$$
7. **Subtract fractions:**
$$\frac{96}{15} - \frac{25}{15} = \frac{71}{15}$$
8. **Inequality now:**
$$\frac{1}{3}x > \frac{71}{15}$$
9. **Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for $x$:**
$$\cancel{3} \times \frac{1}{\cancel{3}} x > 3 \times \frac{71}{15}$$
$$x > \frac{213}{15}$$
10. **Simplify fraction:**
$$\frac{213}{15} = \frac{71}{5} = 14 \frac{1}{5}$$
**Final answer:** Dan needs to add more than $14 \frac{1}{5}$ scoops of flour.
Since scoops must be whole, Dan must add at least 15 scoops.
