Question

It takes 2 cups of water to cook 1 cup of rice.

How much water does it take to cook 6.5 cups of rice?

Answer 1

We would need 13 cups of water to cook 6.5 cups of rice.

Explanation:

This is a ratio question. Based off your question, we begin with a ratio of

`(2 Cups Water)/(1 Cup Rice)`

We need to find how much water it takes to cook 6.5 cups of rice.

`(2 Cups Water)/(1 Cup Rice)` =
`(x)/(6.5 Cups Rice)`

We cross multiply.

2(6.5) = x

13 = x

We would need 13 cups of water to cook 6.5 cups of rice.
