<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

Giovanni purchased 25tickets to an airshow. the cost of an adult's ticket is $14 and the child's ticket is $8. if the total cost

Masteriza [31]

Giovanni purchased 20 adult tickets and 5 child's tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x = Adult tickets

y = Child's tickets

According to given statement;

x+y=25 Eqn 1

One adult ticket costs $14 and one child ticket costs $8, therefore,

14x+8y=320 Eqn 2

$Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 8\\8(x+y=25)\\8x+8y=200\ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 3\ from\ Eqn\ 2\\(14x+8y)-(8x+8y)=320-200\\14x+8y-8x-8y=120\\6x=120\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6}\\x=20$
