To find the number of cups of water needed for every 1 grape, divide the difference between the 2 values of cups of water by the difference between the 2 values of grapes, just as if you were finding a slope:


m=(16-12)/(52-39)=(4)/(13)=0.31

It means that 0.31 cups of water are needed for every grape.
