Answer:

Option C is correct.

Number of gallons of paint Ritchie needs to buy;  8^2(4+1) \div 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 8 miles per hour or 5 meter per second.

As per the statement: Ritchie wants to paint his bedroom ceiling and four walls. Both the ceiling and walls are 8 by 8 feet.  

Area of four wall = 4 \cdot \text{Area of each wall} = 4 \cdot (8 \times 8) = 4 \cdot (8^2) square feet

also;

Area of ceiling = 8 \times 8 = 8^2 square feet

Total area of ceiling and four walls = 4 \cdot 8^2 + 8^2 = 8^2(4+1) square feet.  {Using distributive property a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c }

Also, it is given a gallon of paint cover 40 square feet.

⇒Unit rate per area = \frac{1}{40} gallon of paint

We have to find the number number of gallons of paint.

\text{Number of gallons of paint} =\text{Unit rate per area} \times \text{Total number of area of both ceiling and four walls}

Substitute the given values we get;

\text{Number of gallons of paint}=\frac{1}{40} \times \{8^2 (4+1)\}

Inverse of Multiplication operation is Division.

Therefore, number of gallons of paint Ritchie need to buy is, 8^2(4+1) \div 40

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1. The amount of time you keep your porch light on.

2. The temperature you keep your air conditioner at.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Porch Light Time Example: </u>

The light does not turn on or off based on the bill, thus its independent, but the bill is effected by the amount of time the light is on thus dependent.

You keep your porch light on for 24 hours a day for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.

Next month you keep your porch light on for 12 hours a day and your electricity bill is $40.

<u>Air Conditioner Temp Example: </u>

The thermostat temperature is not effected by the bill, thus its independent, but the bill is effected by the thermostat, thus dependent.

You set your thermostat to 70 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.

Next month you set your thermostat to 75 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $40.
