Question

You have 2/3 of a bag of flour. You use 3/4 of the flour to make empanada dough. How much of the entire bag of flour did you use to make the dough?

Answer 1

From the question, we're told that 2/3 of a bag of flour is available;

3/4 of the 2/3 of the flour is used to make a dough, so we need to find out what 3/4 of 2/3 is;

`(3)/(4)\text{ of }(2)/(3)=(3)/(4)\ast(2)/(3)=(1)/(2)`

So, half of the entire bag of flour was used to make the dough.
