Set up the equation like this
9. X
________ = _________
12. 1

X is the amount of cups of water
1 is the amount of flour you want to have in the end

To solve you must solve for x
1. Cross multiply 9×1
2. Cross multiply 12×X
You should end up with it looking like this
9=12X
Then solve for X
1. Divide 9 by 12
That should get you your answer.

If that is to complicated you can just divide 9 by twelve, but that way is esier for solving for other things.
