To find out how much flour Bill should use if he wants to make 1/4 of a recipe that calls for 3 1/3 cups of flour, you first need to convert 3 1/3 cups into an improper fraction.
3 1/3 can be converted as follows:
\[
3 \times 3 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10
\]
So,
\[
3 1/3 = \frac{10}{3} \text{ cups}
\]
Now, to find 1/4 of the recipe, we multiply by 1/4:
\[
\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{10}{12}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{5}{6}
\]
Therefore, Bill should use \(\frac{5}{6}\) cups of flour to make 1/4 of the recipe.
