Given the expression of water to flour:
w=3/5f
We can get the value of f in order to understand the scale factor of water to flour.
Solve in terms of f:
3/5f = w
multiply both sides by 5 in order to cancel 3/5
3f = 5w
divide both sides by 3 in order to get the value of f.
f = 5w/3
This means that the scale of 1 cups of flour is 5/3 cups of water.
The scale of 1 cup of water is 3/5 cups of flour.
