Ounces of tuna will go on the x axis and calories on the y axis. This is because the relationship between the number of ounces a person eats and the calories he consumes then is a positive correlation (a line with a positive slope which goes from lower left to upper right) with x being the independent variable. As x increases, y increases. In other words you can ONLY change the amount of calories you consume WHEN you change the amount of ounces you eat. You can't change the number of calories independent of the number of ounces. The independent variable goes along the x axis, cuz the x variable always represents the independent variable.

Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
