Sagot :

Answer:

5/64 of a cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Is there two columns of data and two data points? Like this:

Strawberries          Water

384                         30

320                         25

If so, then there are two ways to do it.

1) You can set up a ratio like this

384/30 = 1/x

Where x is the number of cups of water for 1 strawberry.

So,

x = 30/384 of a cup

x = 5/64 of a cup.

2) Look at the increase from one to the other.

64 strawberries requires 5 cups of water

Divide by 5 by 64 to get the water for one strawberry

5/64 of a cup.
