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:

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

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] .

Let's break down the solution step by step:

1. Understand the Data:
- The table provided shows the relationship between time parked (in hours) and the corresponding parking fee.
- The data points are as follows:
- 0.25 hours = [tex]$0.50 - 0.5 hours = $[/tex]1.00
- 0.75 hours = [tex]$1.50 - 1 hour = $[/tex]2.00

2. Identify the Variables:
- Time (hours): This represents how long Alayna parks her car. This is what we usually control or choose in an experiment or scenario. Hence, it's considered the independent variable.
- Parking Fee: This represents the cost Alayna has to pay based on how long she parks. This depends on the time parked, which makes it the dependent variable.

3. Determine Axis Placement:
- In a graphical representation:
- The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis.
- The dependent variable is typically placed on the y-axis.

Putting this all together based on our analysis:

- Time (hours) 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 completed selections in the drop-down menu should be:

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 .
