Ahmed is creating clay at home for an art project. The recipe calls for 2 cups of water and 4 cups of flour. Ahmed would like to make more clay than the recipe calls for and so he puts 20 cups of flour in the bowl instead. How many cups of water should he use?

Answer:

2 : 4 : : x : 20

2×20/4

2 × 5 = 10

therefore he should use 10 cups of water

Hope it helps!
