Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$ ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\frac{1}{4}$teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = $\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{9}{4}$teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = $\frac{1}{4}$

1 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}}$

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}} \times 2$

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = $\frac{2}{9}$

Hence  $\frac{2}{9}$ ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe
