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.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of flour she bought to bake some cookies = $\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ of a pound}$

Since, she used $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of the amount to bake her delicious chocolate chip cookies that means , the amount of flour she used would be

$\dfrac{2}{3}\times\text{amount of flour she bought}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ of a pound}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ of a pound.}$

Hence, she used half of a pound of flour.
