Answer 1

1/4 is the answer hvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Answer 2

2 cups of flour.

Explanation:

A recipe calls for the amount of flour =
`2(2)/(3)` cups

=
`(8)/(3)` cups

Terell wants to make
`(3)/(4)` of the recipe.

So he should use
`(3)/(4)` of the ingredients.

`(3)/(4)` of
`(8)/(3)` cups of flour

=
`(3)/(4)` ×
`(8)/(3)`

=
`(24)/(12)`

= 2 cups

He should use 2 cups of flour.
