2.25 cups of rice is needed for a cup of water

From the question, we are told that a rice dish requires 1/3 cups of rice for every 3/4 cups of water. This can be expressed as:

1/3 cups of rice = 3/4 cups of water

For a cup of water;

x = 1 cup of water

Divide both expressions

1/3x = 3/4

Cross multiply

9x = 4

x = 9/4

x = 2.25

Hence 2.25 cups of rice is needed for a cup of water
