Answer:

1/4 cup of oil for every 1 cup of water

Explanation:

Lets take a look at the information given in the question

The recipe requires 1/8 cup of oil for every 1/2 cup of water.

We know that 1/2 + 1/2 is 1/1, or just 1 simplified

So if we are doubling the amount of water in the recipe, we have to do the same to the oil.

1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8, or 1/4 simplified

So the answer is 1/4 cup of oil to every 1 cup of water
