The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.

Amount of

Water
(cups)
2 5
3 7.5
5 12.5
8 20
Which statements apply to the ratio of rice and water? Choose two options.

The amount of rice is the dependent value.
The amount of water is the dependent value.
The amount of rice is the independent value.
The amount of water is the independent value.
The values cannot be labeled as dependent or independent without a given equation

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "the amount of water required for different amounts of rice" suggests that the "output" value of the table is the amount of water, and the "input" value is the amount of rice.

That makes "water" the dependent variable, and "rice" the independent variable.

  The amount of water is the dependent value.

  The amount of rice is the independent value.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
