Relationship between Variables

The video tutorial explains the concept of variables, distinguishing between independent and dependent variables. It uses practical examples, such as Anna's babysitting and Aiden's lawn mowing, to illustrate how these variables function in real-life scenarios. The tutorial also demonstrates how to use function tables and equations to represent the relationship between variables, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts in mathematics.

What is an independent variable?

• A variable that changes based on another variable

• A variable that stands alone and is not affected by other variables

• A variable that is always constant

• A variable that depends on multiple factors

In the example of Anna babysitting, what is the independent variable?

• The day of the week Anna babysits

• The rate of pay per hour

• The number of hours Anna babysits

• The amount of money Anna earns

How much does Anna earn if she babysits for 4 hours?

• $25

• $20

• $15

• $30

In the example of Aiden mowing lawns, what does the variable X represent?

• The time taken to mow each lawn

• The amount of money earned

• The number of lawns mowed

• The cost per lawn

If Aiden mows 3 lawns, how much money does he earn?

• $60

• $45

• $30

• $75
