When cooking a certain type of rice, the ratio of water to rice should always be 3 to 2. The table below shows this relationship.

Question

Drag and drop the correct value into each box to complete the table.

Water (cups) Rice (cups)
3 2
6 __
___ 10

Answer 1

To maintain the ratio of water to rice at 3 to 2, we can use the values given in the first row as a basis for our calculations.

1. For the second row (6 cups of water):

   • We know that the ratio is 3:2 (water:rice).
   • If 3 cups of water corresponds to 2 cups of rice, then 6 cups of water would correspond to: \[ \text{Rice} = \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 4 \text{ cups} \]

2. For the third row (___ water for 10 cups of rice):

   • We need to find out how many cups of water corresponds to 10 cups of rice.
   • Using the ratio 3:2 in reverse, if 2 cups of rice correspond to 3 cups of water, then 10 cups of rice would correspond to: \[ \text{Water} = \frac{3}{2} \times 10 = 15 \text{ cups} \]

Now, let's fill in the table with these calculated values:

| Water (cups) | Rice (cups) | |---------------|--------------| | 3 | 2 | | 6 | 4 | | 15 | 10 |

So, the completed table is:

• The second row for rice is 4.
• The first blank for water is 15.
