I
Susan is confused about what the ratio is for cups of water: total cups of ingredients
Determine what the correct ratio is for water total indicated in the directions. Explain how you
determined your answer in the answer box below.

Answer and step by step:

a) To cook 1/2 cup of rice, the package tells you that you also need 1 cup of water. The the total volume of ingredients is

.. 1/2 c + 1 c = 1 1/2 c

b) According to the package the ratio of water to rice is

.. water : rice = 1 : 1/2 = 2 : 1

Then the ratio of water to total ingredients is

.. water : (water + rice) = 2 : (2 +1) = 2 : 3

Susan's ratio is incorrect. Susan is using "1" for the total of ingredients, instead of 2+1 = 3. The correct ratio is 2:3.
