<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The amount of water is the dependent value.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.
As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.
Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.
The slope is 2. slope is change in the y values divided by change in x values
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is:

Where
is the length and
is the width.
2. The length is
more than the width, therefore:

3. Substitute values into the formula for calculate the perimeter and solve for the width:

3. Then, the length is:

The answer is: The length is
and the width is
