The number of cups of  marshmallows, m, needed for r  cups of Rice Krispy r is described by  the equation :

r= 1.5m ...(1)

We need to find the no. of marshmallows  are needed to mix with 3 cups of  Rice Krispies.

Pu r = 3 in equatin (1) :

[tex]m=\dfrac{r}{1.5}\\\\m=\dfrac{3}{1.5}\\\\m=2[/tex]

So, there are 2 cups of marshmallows .
