Question

It takes 2 cups of water to cook 1 cup of rice.

How much water does it take to cook 6.5 cups of rice?

Answer 1

Answer:

We would need 13 cups of water to cook 6.5 cups of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio question. Based off your question, we begin with a ratio of

$\frac{2 Cups Water}{1 Cup Rice}$

We need to find how much water it takes to cook 6.5 cups of rice.

$\frac{2 Cups Water}{1 Cup Rice}$ = $\frac{x}{6.5 Cups Rice}$

We cross multiply.

2(6.5) = x

13 = x

We would need 13 cups of water to cook 6.5 cups of rice.
