D. independent -- Number of Months
dependent -- Total Cost
The dependent Variable depends on the independent variable so, as the number of months change, the total cost changes.
It would round to 5 because 4.999 is closer to 5 than a decimal (idk if that's 100%)
First, the dot stands for the "product". You have to multiply.
5/8* 2/7
= [5/ (2*4)]* (2/7)
= 5/4* 1/7 (because 2 and 2 cancel out)
= (5*1)/ (4*7)
= 5/28
The final answer is 5/28~
