Answer 1

Given:

A recipe has a ratio of 6 cups of flour to 2 cups of water.

We need to find the number of cups of water for each cups of flour

So, let the number of cups of water = x

We have the following ratio:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x\text{ cups of water}}{1\text{ cup of flour}}=\frac{2\text{ cups of water}}{6\text{ cups of flour}} \\ \end{gathered}$

Solve for x:

$x=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

so, the answer will be:

There are 1/3 cups of water for each cup of flour.
