Maybe the answer is -4 ....? I just can't find any more logic to this problem.
<span>Amount
of Rice (cups) Amount of Water (cups)
2 5
3 7.5
5 12.5
8 20
Let's find the ratio of rice and water:
5 / 2 = 2.5 => 2 * 5 = 5
7.5 / 3 = 2.5 => 3 * 2.5 = 7
12.5 / 5 = 2.5 => 5 * 2.5 = 12.5
20 / 8 = 2.5 => 8 * 2.5 = 20
So, as the ratio of water ot rice is constant, and the first variable is the amount of rice, you can calculate the amount of water given the amount of rice.
So, the amount of rice is independent value and the amount of water is dependent (it depends on the amount of rice).
The amount of rice is
the dependent value. FALSE
The amount of water is the dependent value.TRUE
The
amount of rice is the independent value. TRUE
The amount of water is the
independent value.</span>FALSE
4.5; 27 * 6 = 162 and then do 162/36 which is 4.5
