A (1/4, 2)

B (3/2, 3)

C (2, 6)

D (2/3, 4)

Answer 1

To find another point on the graph, we can use the fact that the relationship is directly proportional. This means that the ratio between the amount of water and the number of cups of rice will always be the same.

Let's use the given point (1/2, 1) to find this ratio:
Amount of water / Number of cups of rice = 1/2 / 1 = 1/2

Now, we can use this ratio to find another point on the graph. Let's choose option C and see if it satisfies the ratio:
Amount of water / Number of cups of rice = 2 / 6 = 1/3

Since the ratio of 1/3 is not equal to 1/2, option C (2, 6) is not another point on the graph.

Let's try with option A:
Amount of water / Number of cups of rice = 1/4 / 2 = 1/8

The ratio of 1/8 is also not equal to 1/2, so option A is also not another point on the graph.

Let's try with option B:
Amount of water / Number of cups of rice = 3/2 / 3 = 1/2

The ratio of 1/2 is equal to 1/2, so option B (3/2, 3) is another point on the graph.

Therefore, the correct answer is B (3/2, 3).
