Answer 1

To determine which amount of flour is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup, we can compare each option:

1. \( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup:

   • Simplifying \( \frac{4}{12} \): \[ \frac{4 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{1}{3} \] This is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup.

2. \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a cup:

   • This is not equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \).

3. \( \frac{4}{6} \) of a cup:

   • Simplifying \( \frac{4}{6} \): \[ \frac{4 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{2}{3} \] This is not equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \).

4. \( \frac{2}{3} \) of a cup:

   • This is not equivalent to \( \frac{1}{3} \).

From the above options, the equivalent amount of flour to \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a cup is:

\( \frac{4}{12} \) of a cup.
