Answer 1

To find out which amount of flour is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup, we can compare \( \frac{1}{3} \) with the provided options.

1. **\( \frac{1}{4} \) of a cup** - This is less than \( \frac{1}{3} \).
2. **\( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup** - This simplifies to \( \frac{2}{3} \), which is greater than \( \frac{1}{3} \).
3. **\( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup** - This is greater than \( \frac{1}{3} \).
4. **\( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup** - This simplifies to \( \frac{1}{3} \), so it is equivalent.

The correct answer is **\( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup**.
