The statements that apply to the ratio of rice and water are:

The ratio of rice to water is 1 to 2.5
The ratio of water to rice is 2.5 to 1

<h3>Ratios</h3>

Ratios are used to compare quantities of different measurements

The entries on the table are given as:

<u>Rice Water</u>

2 5

3 7.5

5 12.5

8 20

<h3>The ratios of both quantities</h3>

The ratio (r) of rice and water is then calculated as:

$r = \frac{Water}{Rice}$

Pick any corresponding table entry.

So, we have:

$r = \frac{5}{2}$

Divide

$r = 2.5$

This means that, the ratio of rice to water is 1 to 2.5, and the ratio of water to rice is 2.5 to 1
