Natalia bought 3/4 of a pound of flour to bake some cookies. She used 2/3 of that amount to bake her delicious chocolate chip cookies. How many pounds of flour did she used

Answer 1

Answer: She used half of a pound of flour.

Explanation:

The amount of flour she bought to bake some cookies =
`(3)/(4)\text{ of a pound}`

Since, she used
`(2)/(3)` of the amount to bake her delicious chocolate chip cookies that means , the amount of flour she used would be

`(2)/(3)*\text{amount of flour she bought}\\\\=(2)/(3)*(3)/(4)\text{ of a pound}\\\\=(1)/(2)\text{ of a pound.}`

Hence, she used half of a pound of flour.
