Question

25 POINTS! Omilia is making chapatis by mixing flour and water in the ratio of 1 : 3. She starts by mixing 2.5 cups of water with 4 cups of flour. How many more cups of water does she need?

Answer 1

Answer: Below

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that water must be three times flour, so our end goal is 12 cups of water, since 4 * 3 = 12.

We already have 2.5 and 4, so we make the equation:

2.5 + x = 12

Simplify.

x = 7.5

Our answer is 7.5
