There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
We are given equation g = 748u, where g is the total number of gallons of water used and u is the number of units.
We can see that the number of units of water being used by customers.
The number of units of water doesn't depend on the total number of gallons of water used.
Therefore, the number of units u is an independent variable.
The value of the total number of gallons is totally depends on the number of units used.
Therefore, the total number of gallons of water used g is a dependent variable.
So, we can conclude following statements:
1) g is the dependent variable.
2) u is the independent variable.
What am i supposed to help with, can you show me?
