To complete the chart, we can find the relationship between the ounces of oatmeal and the gallons of water. From the information provided:
- It takes 76 gallons of water to produce 4 ounces of oatmeal.
This means that every ounce of oatmeal requires:
\[ \text{Gallons per ounce} = \frac{76 \text{ gallons}}{4 \text{ ounces}} = 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} \]
Now, we can use this relationship to fill out the rest of the chart.
-
For 2 ounces of oatmeal: \[ \text{Gallons of water} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 38 \text{ gallons} \]
-
For 4 ounces of oatmeal (this entry is already provided in the table): \[ 4 \text{ ounces} \rightarrow 76 \text{ gallons} \]
-
For 10 ounces of oatmeal: \[ \text{Gallons of water} = 10 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 190 \text{ gallons} \]
Now, we can fill in the completed chart:
| Ounces of Oatmeal | Gallons of Water | |-------------------|------------------| | 2 | 38 | | 4 | 76 | | 10 | 190 |
