Answer:
The independent quantity in the situation is the length of the diameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a relationship between two variables.
Of the two variables one variable is dependent upon the other.
Dependent variables are those variables that are under study, i.e. they are being observed for any changes when the other variable values are changed.
Independent variables are the variables that are being altered to see a proportionate change in the dependent variable.
In this case, it is provided that Grissom knows there is a relationship between the volume of the sphere and the length of its diameter.
With every sphere that Grissom draws, the volume of the sphere changes according to its diameter length.
That is the volume of the sphere depends upon the length of its diameter.
Thus, the independent quantity in the situation is the length of the diameter.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
To isolate x, you divide both sides by 21
21x=7

x = 7/21
Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 7
x = 1/3
Since, 1/3 is not an option, B is the correct answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to say that:
Mary's amount is x.
Ashley's amount is y.
Oscar's amount is z.
Mary has at least 3 times the amount of cash that ashley and oscar have combined
Ashley's and Oscar's combined amount is y + z.
3 times this amount is 3(y + z).
At least 3 times means that z is equal or greater than 3(y + z).
So

Answer:
6.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.
Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.
To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:

Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.
Now the total area can be calculated:
Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total
Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft
Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared
Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared
Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
