A recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour. If you want to make 2/3 of the recipe, how much flour do you need?

A 1 1/2 cups
B 1 3/4 cups
C 1 5/6 cups
D 2 1/6 cups

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction: 9/4. Multiply by 2/3: (9/4) * (2/3) = 18/12. Simplify 18/12 to 3/2, which is 1 1/2 cups.
