2 ¼ pounds of chicken
7 ¼ pounds of chicken
2 ½ pounds of chicken
2 2/4 pounds of chicken
To find the amount of chicken that remains unused, we need to subtract the amount of chicken used in the recipe from the total amount of chicken bought.
The amount of chicken used in the recipe is 2 ½ pounds.
The total amount of chicken bought is 4 ¾ pounds.
So, the amount of chicken that remains unused is 4 ¾ - 2 ½ = 2 ¼ pounds.
Therefore, the answer is 2 ¼ pounds of chicken.
