Question

When beans are cooked, the amount of water required varies directly with the cups of beans. If 2 cups of beans require 4.5 cups of water, how many cups of water are needed to prepare 5 cups of beans?

Answer 1

Answer:

11.25 cups of water is needed to cook 5 cups of Beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The amount of water required varies directly with the cups of beans.

2 cups of beans require 4.5 cups of water.

we need to find how many cups of water are needed to prepare 5 cups of beans.

4.5 cups of water =2 cups of bean

Number of cups of water = 5 cups of bean.

Now Using Unitary method for solving above we get,

Number of cups of water required = $\frac{5\times4.5}{2}=\frac{22.5}{2}=11.25 \ cups$

Hence 11.25 cups of water is required to prepare 5 cups of beans.
