Question

Richard accepted a part time job where he is paid $10.50 an hour. To find how much he's earned, he uses the equation p=10.5h where p is the amount of money he's earned and h is the hours he's worked.

Which variable is the dependent variable?



A.


h


B.


p


C.
There is no relationship between the variables.

Answer 1

The dependent variable depends on something else
In this case the amount of money he earned depends on the amount of hours he has worked
If he worked one hr then he will only receive $10.50. If he works 2 hrs he will receive $21
So the amount of money received is dependent on the amount of hours worked

Answer 8

Well ok lets say you work at KFC
And your boss tells you that you will receive $10 per hour
If you work only one hr you only get $10
If you work 2 hours you get $20
So the amount of money you make that day is dependent on how many hours you worked that day.
