To determine the relationship between the amounts of rice and water, we need to understand which quantity depends on the other.
1. **The amount of rice is the dependent value.**
2. **The amount of water is the dependent value.**
3. **The amount of rice is the independent value.**
4. **The amount of water is the independent value.**
5. **The values cannot be labeled as dependent or independent without a given equation.**
In this context, the amount of water required depends on the amount of rice being cooked. This means:
- The amount of rice is the independent value because it is the quantity that is chosen or controlled in the scenario.
- The amount of water is the dependent value because it depends on the amount of rice.
Therefore, the correct options are:
- The amount of water is the dependent value.
- The amount of rice is the independent value.
The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.
