Answer 1

Explanation:

The cost of playing golf increases with the number of games played. Identify the independent and dependent quantity in the situation.

games played; cost

hours played; cost

cost; hours played

cost; games played

Answer 2

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`(y)/(x) =k`

Although the problem does not specify it, I will assume a proportional relationship to better explain the problem

In this problem we have

x--------> the number of games played

y-------> the cost of playing golf

`y=kx`

therefore

the answer is

the independent quantity is the variable x------> the number of games played

the dependent quantity is the variable y------> the cost of playing golf
