To complete the table, we first need to determine the relationship between the ounces of oatmeal and the gallons of water needed. We know that it takes 76 gallons of water to produce 4 ounces of oatmeal.
From this, we can find the water required for 1 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 gallons of water needed for 10 ounces of oatmeal.
\[ \text{Water for 10 ounces} = 10 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} = 190 \text{ gallons} \]
Now we can fill in the table:
-
For 2 ounces of oatmeal: \[ 2 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} = 38 \text{ gallons} \]
-
For 4 ounces of oatmeal: \[ 4 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} = 76 \text{ gallons} \]
-
For 10 ounces of oatmeal: \[ 10 \text{ ounces} \times 19 \text{ gallons per ounce} = 190 \text{ gallons} \]
The completed table is:
| Ounces of Oatmeal | 2 | 4 | 10 | |--------------------|---|---|----| | Gallons of Water | 38| 76|190 |
