Question:
If c is the number of cups of water needed to make papier mache paste, then 1/4c can be used to find the number of cups of flour needed. Find the number of cups of flour needed for each number of cups of water.
___
I don't know how to solve the question.
help?
1 cup water and 1/4 cup flour
2 cups water and 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup water and 1/8 cup flour
To solve this question, we need to use the given information that 1/4c is used to find the number of cups of flour needed for each cup of water.
Let's start by defining some variables:
Let c be the number of cups of water needed.
Let f be the number of cups of flour needed.
We know that 1/4c is used to find f, so we can write the equation as:
f = 1/4c
To find the number of cups of flour needed for each number of cups of water, we can substitute different values of c into our equation and solve for f. Let's consider a few possible values for c:
- If c = 2, then f = 1/4(2) = 1/2
- If c = 4, then f = 1/4(4) = 1
- If c = 6, then f = 1/4(6) = 1.5
By substituting different values of c into the equation f = 1/4c, we can find the corresponding values of f. This will give us the number of cups of flour needed for each number of cups of water.
So, for each number of cups of water, we have the following corresponding values of cups of flour needed:
- If c = 2, then f = 1/2
- If c = 4, then f = 1
- If c = 6, then f = 1.5
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
