Question

A recipe for cinnamon rolls calls for 3 cups of flour for every 1/2 cup of water. Using the same recipe, how much water will you need for 5 cups of flour?

Answer 1

Answer: 3/10 cup of water

Explanation:

Take 3 divided by 5 = 0.6

So, we know to get from 3 to 5 we need to times 0.6

So, we take 1/2 times 0.6

1/2 = 0.5

0.5 times 0.6 = 0.3 cup of water

0.3 = 3/10

So, the answer is 3/10 cup of water
