For this case we can raise a rule of three:
[tex]\frac {3} {4}[/tex]cup of water ---------> [tex]\frac {1} {8}[/tex] pound of flour
x --------------------------------- > 1 pound of flour
Where:
x: Represents the amount of water that Tamie must use with 1 pound of flour.
[tex]x = \frac {1 * \frac {3} {4}} {\frac {1} {8}}\\x = \frac {\frac {3} {4}} {\frac {1} {8}}\\x = \frac {3 * 8} {4 * 1}\\x = \frac {24} {4}\\x = 6[/tex]
So, Tamie should use 6 cups of water
Answer:
6 cups of water
