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.

Question

responses

a .3/2 , 3
b. 1/4 , 2
c. 2 , 6
d. 2/3 , 4

Answer 1

To find another point on the graph, we need to find a ratio of water to rice that is equivalent to the ratio of 1/2 to 1.

Since the relationship is directly proportional, we can set up a proportion:

water/rice = (1/2)/(1)

Simplifying this proportion, we get:

water/rice = 1/2

Now we can select another point that has a water to rice ratio of 1/2.

Looking at the given options, the point (2, 6) satisfies this condition because 2/6 = 1/2.

Therefore, the answer is c. 2, 6.
