Given:
liquid-to-rice ratio = 2: 1
amount of rice = 3/4 gallons
We can use the formula below to find the amount of water required:
[tex]\frac{Amount\text{ of liquid}}{Amount\text{ of rice}}\text{ = }\frac{2}{1}[/tex]
let the amount of liquid be x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{\frac{3}{4}}\text{ = }\frac{2}{1} \\ \frac{4x}{3}\text{ = }\frac{2}{1} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
Cross-Multiply and solve for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x\text{ }\times\text{ 1 = 3}\times\text{ 2} \\ 4x\text{ = 6} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 4} \\ \frac{4x}{4}\text{ = }\frac{6}{4} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the amount of water needed is 3/2 gallons
Answer:
3/2 gallons
