Politely disagree with the previous responses.

The ratio is 1 part sugar: 4 cups water

Therefore, to go from sugar to water, you need to *multiply* by 4, not divide.

lorena123 · Answer

34 divided by 4 is 8.5 and 34 multiplied 4 is 136

Vocaloid · Answer

just a sec - can you look at the original problem? is is 34 or 3/4?

lorena123 · Answer

3/4

Vocaloid · Answer

ah, yes, then you'd multiply (3/4) * 4
