A baker needs 3/5 cup water for every 2/3 cup flour. Using this ratio, how much flour is needed for 1/3 cup water? answer choices!

10/27 cup

3/10 cup

2/15 cup

1/36 cup

Work Shown:

3/5 cup water = 2/3 cup flour

15*(3/5) cup water = 15*(2/3) cup flour

9 cups water = 10 cups flour

9/27 cup water = 10/27 cup flour

1/3 cup water = 10/27 cup flour

In the second step I multiplied both sides by 15 to clear out the fractions. In the second to last step, I divided both sides by 27 so that it forms the fraction 9/27 which reduces to 1/3.
