The amount of water is directly proportional to the number of cups of rice. The coordinate (1/2, 1) is on the graph of this proportional relationship. Identify another point on the graph

Since the amount of water is directly proportional to the number of cups of rice, we can create a proportion using the given coordinates.

Let's use the proportion: amount of water / number of cups of rice = k, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Now we can use the given coordinates (1/2, 1) to calculate k:

(1/2) / 1 = k
k = 1/2

Now we can find another point on the graph by using a different number of cups of rice but maintaining the same ratio of water to rice. Let's say we have 2 cups of rice. Using the same ratio, we can calculate the amount of water:

amount of water = k * number of cups of rice
amount of water = (1/2) * 2
amount of water = 1

Therefore, the point (2, 1) is another point on the graph.
