Mrs. Greer was making pancakes for breakfast. Baking is an exact science so correct measurements are crucial. She had a recipe that called for 1 1/2 cups of water for 2 cups of mix. She only had 1 1/2 cups of mix. How much water should she add as a fraction, since her measuring cup only has fractions. (This is a true story, I actually did this on Sunday, only an exact fractional answer will count)

cup

Step-by-step explanation:

write a proportion 1 1/2 / x = 2 / 1 1/2. when solved, the answer is 9/8 cup

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
