Answer:

.33 liters of water and 3 liters of flour

Explanation:

Well you can see how 1 liter of water is 3 liters of flour since there's a point on the graph, and you can find the liters of flour by just doing 1/3

Answer:

1.13

2.67

Explanation:

Accordin to the graph we can say Water in liters is y and Flour in liters is x. We can determine the slop of the graph and the y-intercept when x=0. Let m be the slope of the graph and c is the y-intercept. The equation of the line is:


y=m*x+c

The slope is define as:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We can determine the slope by using any two points on the line. Lets use point 1 as (1,0.25) and point 2 as (3,1):


m=(1-0.25)/(3-1)=0.375

Therefore the equation of the line is:


y=0.375*x+c

We see from the graph that the line intercepts through point (0,0) therefore the equation is y=0.375x with a y-intercept of 0.

We can calculate the number of liters of flour per water at any point, let x=3


y=0.375*(3)=1.125

We can calculate the number of liters of water per flourat any point, let y=1


x=1/(0.375)=2.67
