The graph represents the number of cups of flour for the number of cups of sugar in a cake recipe. A graph is shown in the xy-plane. The x-axis is labeled as Cups of Sugar, and the y-axis is labeled as Cups of Flour. The values on the x-axis ranges from 0 to 5 in an increment of 1 and the values on the y-axis ranges from 0 to 8 in an increment of 1. 3 points are plotted on it whose coordinates are (2, 3), (3, 4.5) and (5, 7.5).

Which ratio represents the relationship modeled in the graph?

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
