Answer:


(2)/(9) ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe

Explanation:


2(1)/(4)teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast =
(1)/(4)


(9)/(4)teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast =
(1)/(4)

1 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast =
((1)/(4))/((9)/(4))

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast =
((1)/(4))/((9)/(4)) * 2

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast =
(2)/(9)

Hence
(2)/(9) ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe
