Q. Part DWrite an equation, using f and w, to represent how the number of cups of flour is proportional to the number of cups of water.Answer
Identify relationship: Identify the relationship between flour and water. Since they are proportional, the equation will be of the form f=kw, where k is the constant of proportionality.
Determine value of k: Determine the value of k. Assume for simplicity that the recipe requires 1 cup of flour for every 2 cups of water. So, k=21.
Write equation with k: Write the equation using the value of k. f=21w.
