A recipe for bread calls for 3 cups of flour for every 1/2 ​ cup of water. Using the same recipe, how much water will you need for 5 cups of flour?

5/6 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that 3 cups of flour requires 1/2 cup of water

We want to find the amount of water needed for 5 cups of flour

If  3 cups of flour require 1/2 cup of water

then  5 cups of flour will require x

cross multiply

3x= 5/2

6x= 5

x= 5/6 cups of water

Hence 5 cups of flour will require 5/6 cups of water

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
