Answer:

Explanation:

so you have 2 cups of flour- 2.0

then you have 3/4 cup of water which can be converted to 0.75

the ratio amount of flour to water would be = 2:0.75

so the change from 2 cups of flour to 5 is x by 2.5

so times 0.75 by 2.5 and you get 1.875 change it back to a fraction which is 15/8 and there's your answer
