Identify Ratio: question_prompt: How much water is needed for 1 cup of sugar if 3 cups of water are used for 43 cups of sugar?
Calculate Water for 1 Cup: First, find the ratio of water to sugar used in the original recipe. That's 3 cups of water for every 43 cups of sugar.
Simplify Calculation: Now, calculate how much water is used for 1 cup of sugar. To do this, divide the amount of water by the amount of sugar in the original recipe and then multiply by 1 cup. So, (3 cups water /(3/4) cups sugar\) ∗1 cup sugar.
Simplify Calculation: Now, calculate how much water is used for 1 cup of sugar. To do this, divide the amount of water by the amount of sugar in the original recipe and then multiply by 1 cup.
