Mr. Harris on the bubble machine that he uses for different school events the bubble solution contains 3/4 cup of cornstarch for every 2 cups of water. What is the rate in cups of cornstarch per cup of water?

Answer 1

To find the rate in cups of cornstarch per cup of water, we need to divide the amount of cornstarch by the amount of water:

3/4 cup of cornstarch / 2 cups of water = 3/4 / 2 = 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8 cups of cornstarch per cup of water

Therefore, the rate in cups of cornstarch per cup of water is 3/8.
