Answer 1

To determine which amount of flour is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup, we can convert the options given into fractions that either equal \( \frac{1}{3} \) or simplify to it.

1. **\( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup**:
- Simplification: \( \frac{4 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{1}{3} \)

2. **\( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup**:
- This is already in simplest form and is larger than \( \frac{1}{3} \).

3. **\( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup**:
- Simplification: \( \frac{4 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{2}{3} \) (larger than \( \frac{1}{3} \)).

4. **\( \frac{1}{4} \) of a cup**:
- This is less than \( \frac{1}{3} \).

Based on the simplifications:
- The only equivalent amount to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup is **\( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup**.
