Answer:

2 cups of clay

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

we are given that  6 cups of water for every 12 cups of clay

  i.e

12 cups of clay require 6 cups of water

4 cups of clay will require x cups of water

cross multiply

12x= 4*6

12x= 24

divide both sides  by 12

x= 24/12

x= 2cups

Hence 4 cups of water will require 2 cups of clay
