Jenny makes food for her hummingbird feeders. The food is made up of 1 part sugar and 4 parts water. She uses 3/4 cup of sugar to make the hummingbird food. How much water should Jenny use?

so if Jenny makes food for the hummingbird you should use 3 cups because when you see HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD USE.

How I did it?
I did it by just tacking 1-4=3 and that all that I did you did not need to do 4÷1 or 4÷4/3 all you needed to do is 1-4

3 cups of water.
If you are using four times as much water as sugar, just multiply 3/4 cup by 4 to see how many cups of water you need. You get 3 cups of water.
