Table. m (magnets): 40, 80, 120. b (boxes): 4, 8, 12. Every box Kira opens has the same number of magnets. The science room has 200 magnets. How many boxes is that?
Table. m (minutes): 3, 6, 9. l (liters): 12, 24, 36. Luz's fountain pumps water at a steady rate. It has pumped 84 liters. For how many minutes has it run?
Pia jogs and covers 4.5 more miles each hour, and the trip is graphed. What equation for d fits?
The growth of Ren's sunflower is graphed. What equation for h fits?
Graph. Horizontal axis: w (weeks), ticks every 1, from 0 to 8. Vertical axis: h (centimeters), ticks every 5, from 0 to 20. Points, left to right: (2, 5), (4, 10), (6, 15). Graph. Horizontal axis: w (weeks), ticks every 1, from 0 to 8. Vertical axis: h (centimeters), ticks every 5, from 0 to 20. Points, left to right: (2, 5), (4, 10), (6, 15). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 5 10 15 20 w (weeks) h (centimeters) Table. s (Esme's age in years): 2, 5, 9. n (Noah's age in years): 6, 9, 13. Noah's and Esme's ages are shown at three birthdays. What equation for n fits?
Table. b (Bo's pages): 4, 7, 11. a (Ari's pages): 16, 19, 23. Ari and Bo each read some pages on three days. What equation for a fits?
Table. m (magnets): 18, 36, 54. b (boxes): 1, 2, 3. Every box Tala opens has the same number of magnets. The table shows magnets m and boxes b. Which is the independent variable?
- m (magnets)
- b (boxes)
- Both: neither one depends on the other
Table. s (stickers): 25, 50, 75. p (pages): 1, 2, 3. Zee's sticker pad has the same number of stickers on every page. The table shows stickers s and pages p. Which is the dependent variable?
- Both: neither one depends on the other
- p (pages)
- s (stickers)
Bo's rain gauge is graphed. Hours h are on the horizontal axis and centimeters of rain c are on the vertical axis. What does the plotted point say?
Graph. Horizontal axis: h (hours), ticks every 1, from 0 to 8. Vertical axis: c (centimeters of rain), ticks every 1, from 0 to 10. One point is plotted at (4, 6). Graph. Horizontal axis: h (hours), ticks every 1, from 0 to 8. Vertical axis: c (centimeters of rain), ticks every 1, from 0 to 10. One point is plotted at (4, 6). 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 h (hours) c (centimeters of rain) - h = 4 and c = 6
- h = 6 and c = 4
- c = 6 for each hour
Table. c (crayons): 16, 32, 48. b (boxes): 1, 2, 3. Esme's crayons in boxes are graphed from the table. Which variable goes on the horizontal axis?
- b (boxes), the independent variable
- c (crayons), the dependent variable
- Either one: it does not matter
