    1/2 of 2/3 is 1/3. This is because you are supposed to multiply the fractions together. "Of" is a code word for multiplication.

    1/3 cups of flour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The recipe originally calls for 2/3 cups of flower. However, if the chef only wants to make half of the recipe, we must divide the original recipe by 2. Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 1/2.

    2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (multiply across)

    Simplify 2/6 - 1/3.
