Thank you for asking this question. Here is your 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
