Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Alayna parks her car in a lot that charges by the quarter hour. The table shows the parking fee, in dollars, with respect to the time, in hours.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Time (hours) & 0.25 & 0.5 & 0.75 & 1 & 1.25 & 1.5 \\
\hline
Parking Fee & [tex]$\$[/tex]0.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$1.00$[/tex] & [tex]$\$[/tex]1.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$2.00$[/tex] & [tex]$\$[/tex]2.50[tex]$ & $[/tex]\[tex]$3.00$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Time is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] variable and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex].
Parking fee is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] variable and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex].

Certainly! Let's analyze the given data step-by-step:

1. Understanding the Variables:
- Time in hours is the input variable. You can change the amount of time parked.
- The Parking Fee in dollars is the output variable. It depends on how much time you have parked.

2. Identifying the Independent and Dependent Variables:
- The independent variable is the one you have control over or can choose values for. In this context, it is time.
- The dependent variable is the one that changes in response to the independent variable. Here, it's the parking fee that changes based on the amount of time.

3. Placement on the Axes:
- The independent variable (time) is typically placed on the x-axis.
- The dependent variable (parking fee) is typically placed on the y-axis.

Putting this together:

- Time is the independent variable.
- Parking fee is the dependent variable.
- The independent variable (time) should be placed on the x-axis.
- The dependent variable (parking fee) should be placed on the y-axis.

Now, filling in the blanks for the options given:

- Time is the independent variable and should be placed on the x-axis.
- Parking fee is the dependent variable and should be placed on the y-axis.

So, the correct answer for each drop-down menu is:

- Time is the independent variable.
- Parking fee is the dependent variable.
- Time should be placed on the x-axis.
- Parking fee should be placed on the y-axis.
