i think u missed it!!
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice. Amount of Rice (cups) Amount of Water (cups) 2 5 3 7.5 5 12.5 8 20 Which statements apply to the ratio of rice and water? The amount of rice is the dependent value. The amount of water is the dependent value. The amount of rice is the independent value. The amount of water is the independent value. The values cannot be labeled as dependent or independent without a given equation. The values cannot be labeled as dependent or independent since any amount can be selected for either.
Answer:
We will first of all find the ratio of rice and water.
5 / 2 = 2.5
= 2 x 5 = 5
7.5 / 3 = 2.5
= 3 x 2.5
= 7
12.5 / 5 = 2.5
= 5 x 2.5
= 12.5
20 / 8 = 2.5
= 8 x 2.5
= 20
From above calculations we can figure this out that the amount of rice is independent and the water is directly dependent on the amount of rice.
The amount of water is the independent value is FALSE
The amount of rice is the dependent value is FALSE
The amount of rice is the independent value is TRUE
The amount of water is the dependent value is TRUE
