Answer 1

(a) 1:2

(b) 6 cups

(c)
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

(a) Given,

amount of rice mixture contains= 1 cup

amount of water mixture contains= 2 cups

`\textrm{So, the ratio of rice to water}\ =\ \frac{\textrm{amount of rice in mixturte}}{\textrm{amount of water in mixture}}`

`=\ (1)/(2)`

So, the ratio of rice to water is 1:2.

(b) Amount of rice in mixture = 3 cups

`\textrm{So, the ratio of rice to water}\ =\ \frac{\textrm{amount of rice in mixturte}}{\textrm{amount of water in mixture}}`

`=>\ (1)/(2)\ =\ \frac{3}{\textrm{amount of water in mixture}}`

=> amount of water in mixture = 3 x 2

= 6 cups

(c)
`\textrm{amount of rice in mixture}\ =(1)/(3)`

`\textrm{So, the ratio of rice to water}\ =\ \frac{\textrm{amount of rice in mixturte}}{\textrm{amount of water in mixture}}`

`=>\ (1)/(2)\ =\ \frac{(1)/(3)}{\textrm{amount of water in mixture}}`

`=>\textrm{amount of water in mixture}\ =\ (2)/(3)`

So, the amount of water in the mixture will be
`(2)/(3)` cup.
