Ratio is 3:2 flour to water
for 9 cups of flour, water will be 9 x 2/3 = 6 cups

the converse of 3:2 is also true, so there should be 2/3 as much water as there is flour, multiply that by 9 and you get 6 cups of water needed

3/9=2/x cross multiply
3x = 18 divide three to both sides and the answer is
x = 6
you will need 6 cups of water

3 ... 9

2 ... x
Cross multiply:
