Question

Bao is mixing flour and water to make dough. The graph shows how much water he uses for different amounts of flour.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.33 liters of water Bao use per liter of flour.

3  liters of flour Bao use per liter of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph which pass through the coordinates (0,0) and (3,1)

∴ Equation of line passing through these points can be written as

$(y-y')=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x')$

⇒  $(y-0)=\frac{1-0}{3-0} (x-0)$

⇒ $y=\frac{1}{3}x$ ⇒ $3y=x$

Now, we have to find liters of water Bao use per liter of flour i.e if x=1 then we find the value of y which is 3y=x=1 ⇒ $y=\frac{1}{3} = 0.33 l$

Now, we have to find  liters of flour Bao use per liter of water i.e if y=1 the we have to find the value of x which is x=3 litre
