Q. Brody is planning a scavenger hunt for his friends. The number of friends taking part determines how many teams there will be.f= the number of friendst= the number of teamsWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)t is the independent variable and f is the dependent variable(B)f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable
Determine Relationship: Determine the relationship between the number of friends and the number of teams. The number of teams is likely determined by the number of friends participating. If more friends join, Brody will create more teams. Therefore, the number of friends f is the factor that influences the number of teams t.
Identify Independent Variable: Identify the independent variable. The independent variable is the one that is not affected by the other variable. In this case, the number of friends f does not depend on how many teams there will be, but rather the number of teams depends on the number of friends.
Identify Dependent Variable: Identify the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable. Since the number of teams t depends on the number of friends f, t is the dependent variable.
Choose Correct Answer: Choose the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B) f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
