Sallie makes candles using different scents. She sells each candle for $8 on her website. She writes the equation y = 8x to determine how much money, y, she earns from selling x candles. What does the independent variable represent in this situation? A The number of scents B The number of candles Sallie sells C The cost of each candle Sallie sells D The total amount of money Sallie earns selling candles

B The number of candles Sallie sells

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

y = 8x

y = amount earned ; x = number of candles sold

Cost per candle = 8

The Independent variable is the number of candles sallie sells as it is this variable which determines the amount which sallie will earn from candle sales (dependent variable). In essence, the variable which determines or affects the dependent variable is the independent variable.

sum= when you add is how much the whole amount is

distance= when you use angles and it means how far it goes

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
