A bag of rice says to mix 3 cups of rice with 2 cups of water. How much water would be needed to mix with 2 cups of rice?

Set up a proportion of cups of rice to water where w is the amount of water needed for 2 cups of rice:
3/2 = 2/w

To solve this proportion for w, we type it in our search engine and we get:
w = 1.33333
