Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 cup of rice is added to 2 3/4 water
We are to determine the Amount of water to be to 2 1/2 cups of rice
Let the unknown number for water be x
So let's solve
1 cup of rice=11/4 water
5/2 cup of rice=x water
Cross multiply
x=5/2×11/4
x=55/8
X=6 7/8
Therefore,6 7/8 water is needed
