Answer:

The cook has enough flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with mixed fractions, I would always make the denominator the same before comparing. Since the lowest common multiple between 3 and 2 is 6, I will change both fractions to a denominator of 6.

Cook has 1[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = 1[tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]

Recipe needs 1[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 1[tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex]

Since the cook has [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] more than what the recipe needs, the cook has enough flour.
