Larry was paid a total of $30 for raking leaves for 8 hours of work. This rate is constant. What will be the total amount that Larry will be paid for raking leaves for 20 hours of work

Hi! The correct answer is $75 for 20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: n=3m; Bob needs to read 51 novels over 17 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of novels Bob needs to read (n) depends on the amount of months (m) we can say that n is the dependent variable and m is the independent. Since x is always independent and y is always independent we can say that m is going to stand for x and n is going to stand for y. Each month Bob reads 3 novels so we can write the equations as n=3m. To find out how many books he needs to read in 17 months plug it into the equation. n=3(17) > n=51
