Independent Quantity Dependent Quantity

1 answer

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 |
