Q. For a party, Leon made a pan pizza from scratch. The number of squares he cuts the pizza into will depend on the number of people attending the potluck.\newlines=s = the number of squares Leon cuts the pizza into\newlinep=p = the number of people attending the potluck\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) ss is the independent variable and pp is the dependent variable\newline(B) pp is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable
  1. Define Variables: In this scenario, we need to determine the relationship between the two variables: the number of squares (ss) and the number of people attending the potluck (pp). The independent variable is the one that is chosen freely or controlled by the experimenter, while the dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable.
  2. Identify Relationship: Leon decides how many squares to cut the pizza into based on the number of people attending the potluck. Therefore, the number of people pp is the factor that influences how many squares ss the pizza will be cut into. This means that the number of squares is dependent on the number of people.
  3. Determine Independence: Since the number of squares depends on the number of people, pp is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable. The independent variable (pp) is chosen without any dependence on the other variable, and the dependent variable (ss) changes in response to the independent variable.
