Q. For Valentine's Day, Gabrielle is bringing cards to class. The number of students in Gabrielle's class dictates the number of cards she brings in.s= the number of studentsc= the number of cardsWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) c is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable(B) s is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable
Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between the variables.Gabrielle brings one card for each student in her class. Therefore, the number of cards she brings depends on the number of students. If there are more students, she will bring more cards. This shows a direct relationship where the number of students determines the number of cards.
Identify Variables: Identify the independent and dependent variables.Since the number of cards c Gabrielle brings is determined by the number of students s in her class, s is the independent variable because it can change independently. The number of cards, c, is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of students.
