    2 Cups of water

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the amount of water that Arjun will need to make 3 pancakes for each family member in a family of 6, we first need to know what our current ratio of pancake mix to water is.

    2/3 water : 1 pancake mix = 6 to 7 pancakes

    Now we need to know how much pancakes Arjun needs to make.

    6 family members

    3 pancakes each

    So we multiply the number of family members to the number of pancakes each

    Total number of pancakes = 6 x 3

    Total number of pancakes = 18

    So we need at least 18 pancakes for the family to have 3 pancakes each.

    Since we know that the combination of water and pancake mix will make around 6 to 7 pancakes, we simply multiply the entire amount by 3.

    2/3 (3) : 1 (3) = 6 (3) to 7 (3)

    2 Cups of water : 3 pancake mix = 18 to 21 Pancakes

    With a combination of 2 cups of water and 3 pancake mix. We will get 18 to 21 pancakes.

    So Arjun will need 2 cups of water to get 18 to 21 pancakes for the family of 6.
