There is 1/4 ounce of yeast in every 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. A recipe for bread calls for 2 teaspoons of yeast. How many ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe?
Answer:
\(\frac{2}{9}\) ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe
Step-by-step explanation:
\(2\frac{1}{4}\)teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{9}{4}\)teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
1 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}}\)
2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}} \times 2\)
2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
Hence \(\frac{2}{9}\) ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe
