Question 765132: Please help me solve this. If you have a recipe that calls for 1 1/4 cups of water to 3 cups of flour, How many cups of water would you need for 2 cups of flour.
I have tried using 5/4 for the water and multiplying and can't seen to get the answer. Found 2 solutions by Cromlix, stanbon:Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 1/4 cups of water to 3 cups of flour
5/4 cups of water to 3 cups of flour
Divide both sides by 3
5/12 of a cup of water to 1 cup of flour
Multiply both sides by 2
5/6 of a cup of water to 2 cups of flour.
Hope this helps.

Use a proportion:::
x/(2 cups of flour) = (5/4)/(3 cups of flour)
----
x = 2[(5/12]
x = 5/6 cups of water
