Answer 2

Ok so a jar can hold three-fourths of pounds of flour right, so that's the max it can hold, now Austin empties 1/2 of the pound into the flour, since he only emptied that much that's how much he filled the jar with so your answer would be 1/2 or one-half since that's all he filled it with.
