Answer:

5/6 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that 3 cups of flour requires 1/2 cup of water

We want to find the amount of water needed for 5 cups of flour

If  3 cups of flour require 1/2 cup of water

then  5 cups of flour will require x

cross multiply

3x= 5/2

6x= 5

x= 5/6 cups of water

Hence 5 cups of flour will require 5/6 cups of water
