Answer 1

Answer:

1 cup of water = 3/2 cups of flour

Explanation:

Given

1⅔ cup of water = 2½ cup of flour

Required

Determine the equivalent of 1 cup of water

1⅔ cup of water = 2½ cup of flour

Convert fractions to improper fraction

5/3 cup of water = 5/2 cup of flour

Multiply both sides by 3/5

3/5 * 5/3 cup of water = 3/5 * 5/2 cup of flour

1 cup of water = 15/10 cup of flour

1 cup of water = 3/2 cups of flour
