Answer 1

Hi Sara, 

We can solve this problem by setting up the ratio:

(3 cups water)/(1 cup rice) = (5 cups water)/(X cups rice)

To find how many cups of rice we need, let's solve for x:

3/1 = 5/x Simplify 

3=5/x Multiply both sides by x

3x=5 Isolate the x

x=5/3

∴We need (5/3) cups of rice for our given 5 cups of water.

Best,
