Alex swims 20 minutes per day for exercise. The total number of minutes m she swims equals 20 times the
number of days d she swims.

What is the independent variable. The Dependent Variable. And the Equation.

e total number of minutes, m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable in which the variable cannot stand by itself.

In this situation, the total number of minutes, m, equal 20 times the number of d.

m = 20d

d, is a variable which can be multiplied which states that it has a value, no matter what. On the other hand, m, requires d, to be there in order to have a value.

The answer is, m, the total number of minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

lo.lll

step-by-step explanation:

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
