SOLUTION:

3 cups = 9 cupcakes

x cups = 1 cupcake

Cross-multiplication:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 9x\text{ = 3} \\ \text{Dividing both sides by 9} \\ \frac{9x}{9}\text{ = }\frac{3}{9} \\ \\ x\text{ = }\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

CONCLUSION:

One-third of a cup of flour is needed to make one cup of cake.
