1.67/0.5 = 1/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
1.67x = 0.5
x = 0.3
About 3/10 of a cup of water is needed.

muffin : water = 5/3 : 1/2
= 10 : 3
we want 10 : 3 = 1 : x
10/3 = 1/x
10x = 3
x = 3/10
3/10 of water should be used
or
1 2/3 cups of muffin takes 1/2 cup of water
divide by 1 2/3 or 5/3
1 cup of muffin takes (1/2) / (5/3)
= (1/2)(3/5) = 3/10
= 10 : 3
