The table below shows the number of grapes and cups of water used to make fruit punch according to a certain recipe. Grapes 52 and 39 water cups 16 and 12 How many cups of water are needed for every 1 grape?

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:
[tex]m=\frac{16-12}{52-39}=\frac{4}{13}=0.31[/tex]It means that 0.31 cups of water are needed for every grape.
