To find an equivalent ratio, we can set up a proportion using the given ratios.
The given ratio is: 2 cups of water for every 3 cups of flour.
Let's set up the proportion:
2 cups of water / 3 cups of flour = x cups of water / 9 cups of flour.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then solve for x.
(2 cups of water) * (9 cups of flour) = (3 cups of flour) * (x cups of water)
18 cups of water = 3 cups of flour * x cups of water.
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 cups of flour:
18 cups of water / 3 cups of flour = x cups of water.
Simplifying the fraction will give us:
6 cups of water = x cups of water.
Therefore, you will need 6 cups of water with 9 cups of flour to make pancakes.
