1/4 ounce of yeast ... 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
x ounce of yeast = ? ... 2 teaspoons of yeast

If you would like to know how many ounces of yeast need to be in the recipe, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/4 * 2 = x * 2 1/4
1/2 = x * 9/4 /*4/9
x = 1/2 * 4/9
x = 2/9

Result: 2/9 ounce of yeast needs to be in this recipe.
