Edgar needs 12 cups of masa and 9 cups of water to make 90 tortillas.

What is division?

A method of dividing something into equal parts is called division.

How to solve this problem?

Given that 2 cups of masa and 1.5 cups of water are needed for 15 tortillas.

Edgar wants to make 90 tortillas.

We can think Edgar wants to make 90/15 = 6 bunches of 15 tortillas.

1 bunch of 15 tortillas needs 2 cups of masa.

So, 6 bunches of 15 tortillas need 6 * 2 = 12 cups of masa.

Again 1 bunch of 15 tortillas needs 1.5 cups of water.

So, 6 bunches of 15 tortillas need 6 * 1.5 = 9 cups of water.

Therefore, Edgar needs 12 cups of masa and 9 cups of water to make 90 tortillas.
