Answer:

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.

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.
