BEANS A recipe calls for 5 cups of water for each cup of pinto beans. Use the ratio table to find how many cups of water should be used for 4 cups of pinto beans.
Method 1 Find a pattern and extend it.
For 2 cups of beans, you would need a total of 5 + 5 or 10 cups of water.
Continue this pattern until you reach 4 cups.
Method 2 Multiply each quantity by the samenumber.
Since 1 × 4 = 4, multiply each quantity by 4.
Answer: So, you would need 20 cups of water for 4 cups of beans.
