Answer 1

Answer:

5/2 cups of warm water

Step-by-step explanation:

Recipe for homemade slime solution

Warm water : cups of soap

5/3 : 1/3

if she has 2/4 cup of soap how many cups of warm water will she need

Let

x = cups of warm water she will need

Warm water : cups of soap

x : 2/4

Equate the two ratios

5/3 : 1/3 = x : 2/4

5/3 ÷ 1/3 = x ÷ 2/4

Cross product

5/3 * 3/1 = x * 4/2

15/3 = x * 2

5 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 5/2 cups

She will need 5/2 cups of warm water
