    Answer: 1 2/3 ounces of cinnamon is needed.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1/3 ounce is cinnamon is needed for each 1 and 1/2 cups of flour. Converting 1 and 1/2 cups to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 cups.

    It means that the number of ounces of cinnamon need for 1 cup of flour would be

    (1/3) / (3/2) = 1/3 * 2/3 = 2/9 ounces of cinnamon.

    Converting 7 and 1/2 cups of flour to improper fraction, it becomes 15/2 cups of flour.

    Therefore, the ounces of cinnamon needed to bake cookies with 15/2 cups of flour is

    2/9 * 15/2 = 15/9 = 5/3

    = 1 2/3 ounces of cinnamon
