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.

Consider

Amount of Rice (cups) : Amount of Water(cups)

1.2/5

2. 3/7.5=2/5

3. 5/12.5=2/5

4. 8/20=2/5

As in all cases Amount of Rice and Amount of water in cups are same.

i.e⇒ Amount of rice × K = Amount of water, where K is constant of proportionality.

So, Among all the statements

⇒ The amount of rice is the dependent value. The amount of water is the dependent value are correct.

Which means if either of them (Amount in cups) is given we can find other.

understand that i don't know the answers

will someone answer his question

d

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
