A plumber uses 16 inches of tubing to connect each washing machine in a laundry to the water source. He wants to install 18 washing machine. How many yards of tubing will he need?

answer: it actually depends on which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable. let us say we're looking at a linear equation. y=2x+3. we theoretically could switch the equation to be x=(y-3)/2 and it would be the same line. so either a causes b or it can be that b causes a. so technically the answer is false

step-by-step explanation:

-1/4 > -1 2/3. -1/4 is greater than -1 2/3 because it is closer to 0 on the number line.
