Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inflation is when there's a general increase in the price level in an economy. To tackle inflation, the Fed can increase the interest rate as this will discourage people or firms from borrowing and hence there'll be a reduction in the money supply.

Also, the Fed can sell bond to the public, thereby taking in the cash in the economy and reducing the money supply thus reducing inflation. Lastly, the Fed can also increase the reserve ratio for banks. When this is done, there'll be lesser money available in the economy.
