Question

Debby needed one-third of a cup of water for 1 flower . If she had nine flowers how many cups would she need ?

Answer 1

If one flower needs 1/3 of a cup, nine times that amount would need 9/3. Simplified, this would be 3 cups.

Answer 2

1/3 per flower so 3 would equal 3/3 or 1 and she was 9 flowers so it would be 3 cups
