For every 1 cup of rice, 2.5 cups of water are required.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by examining the table closely. We see that the difference of water cups required for 2 and 3 rice cups is 2.5. This stays true for 5 cups of rice. where the difference from the required water for 3 cups of rice is 5.
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
