Cindy is making a paste. For every 1 1/8 cups of water she uses 2 5/8 of flour. How much flour does Cindy need for each cup of flour?

Answer 1

0.43 cup of water

Explanation:

We know

For every 1 1/8 cups of water, she uses 2 5/8 of flour.

1 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125

2 5/8 = 21/8 = 2.625

How much water does Cindy need for each cup of flour?

1.125 divided by 2.625 = 0.43 cup of water

So, Cindy needs 0.43 cup of eater for each cup of flour
