Question

Every week,Michelle is paid d dollars for having worked h hours.Which statement describes the relationship between d and h ???

Answer 1

d is the dependent variable because h affects the number of dollars Michelle earns

Here, we want to select the statement describing the relationship between d and h

From what we have, she is paid d dollars if she had worked h hours

What this mean is that the amount she is paid is dependent on the number of hours for which she has worked

Thus, we can say d is dependent on h

d is the dependent variable, while h is the independent

We now select the correct statement;

The correct statement is that d is the dependent variable because h affects the number of dollars Michelle earns (option A)
