The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice. which statement applies to the ratio of rice and water? check all that apply 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.

Answer-

The amount of water is the dependent value.

Solution-

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.

You need to get all the x-values to one side and all the non-x-values to the other by stepping it through like this:

10x-8=9x+4

1. add the 8 to both sides.
10x-8=9x+4
     +8     +8
10x=9x+12
2. subtract the 9x from both sides.
10x=9x+12
-9x  -9x
X=12

And your final answer is X=12 !
I hope this makes sense and helps! :)
