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:
[tex]\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}[/tex]Solve for x:
[tex]x=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]so, the answer will be:
There are 1/3 cups of water for each cup of flour.
