HURRY Given the number of times I walk around the lake. Find the number of miles I walked around the lake. Note: it is 2.6 miles around the lake, and if I start walking a lap, I must finish the lap because I have to get back to my car. I had to walk ON THE PATH, and cannot go backwards, only forwards. I won't deviate off the path, so it will ALWAYS take 2.6 miles to go around!

Write the function rule, where x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable.

a
x=2.6y
b
y=2.6x
c
x=2.6+y
d
y=2.6+x

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
