3 feet per year

This is more a question in common sense than a math problem. I agree with your answer (b).

Answer 6

Note that your Question #3 is not actually numbered #3. I'm assuming that you're referring to the first of your three questions.

Answer 7

Yes I am haha

Answer 8

#4: I disagree. Think again, choose another answer, and justify it, please.

Answer 9

#5: I agree with your choice.

Answer 10

Okay for #4 is it C because ummmm its depens on how many gallons you get for your dollar?

Answer 11

Disagree again with regard to #4. Try again, and again, explain your reasoning. I assume you drive and that you buy gasoline; how is it priced?

Answer 12

A because dollars per gallon is how they charge you and the cost is priced on how ever many gallons you get?

Answer 13

It is dollars per gallon since the cost is reliant on the number of gallons (more gallons ---> higher cost), but the dependent quantity is not the gallons. The gallons are independent and can be any positive real number. The cost is dependent on the number of gallons based on the reasoning mentioned earlier.

Answer 14

So it is A!?

Answer 15

"because the dependent quantity is the gallons" is false though, so it can't be A

Answer 16

The number of gallons is an independent quantity.

Answer 17

Okay so the only choice I have left is B wow I feel stupid

Answer 18

it's ok, you're not stupid, just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it better
