Henry is making a corn grits recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of corn grits for every 1/2 cup of water. How much water will he need if he uses 1 1/2 cups of corn grits?
Expand 1/2 to 2/4, if there is 1 1/2 cups of corn grits, that means that 1/4 cups of corn grits was used 6 times, 1/2x6=3. He will need 3 cups of water
Ok, first you have to know that 0.25 is one fourth. Finding one fourth of 60 is the first step. 1/4 of 60 is 15. Now, add 3 to 15, and you have your answer! The answer is 18 pounds.
