Answer:
a) 17 cups water
b) 19 cups rice
Explanation:
w = 1.5r + 0.5
For 11 cups of rice, r = 11.
w = 1.5(11) + 0.5
w = 16.5 + 0.5
w = 17
For 11 cups of rice, 17 cups of water are needed.
With 29 cups of water, w = 29.
29 = 1.5r + 0.5
28.5 = 1.5r
r = 19
With 29 cups of water, 19 cups of rice can be cooked.
