The amount of water is directly proportional to the number of cups of rice. The coordinate (1 over 2, 1) is on the graph of this proportional relationship. Identify another point on the graph
Since the amount of water is directly proportional to the number of cups of rice, we can write the relationship as:
water = k * rice
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Given the coordinate (1/2, 1) is on the graph, we can substitute these values and solve for k:
1 = k * (1/2)
1 = k/2
k = 2
Now that we have the constant of proportionality, we can find another point on the graph using the equation water = k * rice:
Let's choose rice = 2 cups:
water = 2 * 2
water = 4 cups
Another point on the graph is (2, 4).

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Since the amount of water is directly proportional to the number of cups of rice, we can write the relationship as:
water = k * rice
Given the coordinate (1/2, 1) is on the graph, we can substitute these values and solve for k:
1 = k * (1/2)
1 = k/2
k = 2
Now that we have the constant of proportionality, we can find another point on the graph using the equation water = k * rice:
Let's choose rice = 3 cups:
water = 2 * 3
water = 6 cups
Therefore, another point on the graph is (3, 6).
