Explanation

The question calls for using the direct proportion concept. This can be seen below.

Let the number of cups of ramen you can make with 1 3/4 cups of noodles be x. Therefore;

[tex]\frac{6}{x}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

We can them crossmultiply

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x=\frac{7}{4}\times6 \\ \frac{2}{3}x=21 \\ 2x=63 \\ x=\frac{63}{2} \\ x=31\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]31\frac{1}{2}\text{cups}[/tex]
