Question

It takes 76 gallons of water to produce 4 ounces of oatmeal. Complete the table.(2 points)

Answer 1

To complete the table based on the given information (76 gallons of water for 4 ounces of oatmeal), we need to determine how much water is required for different amounts of oatmeal.

First, let's establish the relationship. We can calculate the gallons of water required per ounce of oatmeal:

\[
\text{Water per ounce} = \frac{76 \text{ gallons}}{4 \text{ ounces}} = 19 \text{ gallons per ounce}
\]

Now we can use this information to calculate the amount of water needed for various quantities of oatmeal. For example, if you want to know how many gallons are needed for:

- 1 ounce
- 2 ounces
- 8 ounces
- 16 ounces

The calculations would be as follows:

1. **1 ounce**:
\[
\text{Water} = 1 \text{ ounce} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 19 \text{ gallons}
\]

2. **2 ounces**:
\[
\text{Water} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 38 \text{ gallons}
\]

3. **8 ounces**:
\[
\text{Water} = 8 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 152 \text{ gallons}
\]

4. **16 ounces**:
\[
\text{Water} = 16 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons/ounce} = 304 \text{ gallons}
\]

You could now format this information into a table, like this:

| Ounces of Oatmeal | Gallons of Water |
|--------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 19 |
| 2 | 38 |
| 4 | 76 |
| 8 | 152 |
| 16 | 304 |

Feel free to add any additional quantities based on this pattern.
