Which statements apply to the ratio of rice and water? Choose two options.

A. The amount of rice is the dependent value.

B. The amount of water is the dependent value.

C. The amount of rice is the independent value.

D. The amount of water is the independent value.

just took the test answer is B&C

The correct options are:

The amount of water is the dependent value, The amount of rice is the independent value

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following ratio:

Amount of Rice Amount of water

2 5

3 7.5

5 12.5

8 20

Choose the amount of rice because you have to decide how much rice you want to cook.

After choosing the amount of rice, you have to use the right amount of water, determined by the ratio.

ratio = number of cups of water / number of cups of rice

ratio = 5/2

= 2.5

ratio = 7.5/3

=2.5

ratio = 12.5/5

= 2.5

ratio = 20/8

= 2.5

Therefore from the above ratios we can say that:

The amount of water is the dependent value, and The amount of rice is the independent value

Thus the correct options are B and C ...
