To correctly place the data in the table, we need to identify which quantity is independent and which is dependent.
In this case:
-
The independent quantity is the time it took to paint the house, which is 4 hours. This is independent because it doesn't depend on the billing; it is a fixed factor of the job.
-
The dependent quantity is the cost of the painting service, which is $70. This quantity depends on the amount of time worked.
Therefore, the table would look like this:
| Independent Quantity | Dependent Quantity | |----------------------|--------------------| | 4 hours | $70 |
