Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex]teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

1 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}}[/tex]

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{9}{4}} \times 2[/tex]

2 teaspoons of yeast requires ounces of yeast = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Hence  [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] ounces of yeast are needed for this recipe
