Q. Leslie's daughter will be participating in an upcoming dance recital. She will require a different costume for each dance she plans to performs.c = the number of costumes Leslie's daughter will required = the number of dances Leslie's daughter plans to performWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) c is the independent variable and d is the dependent variable(B) d is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable
Define Variables: In this context, the independent variable is the one that can be changed or controlled, while the dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable. We need to determine which variable depends on the other.
Identify Relationship: Leslie's daughter will require a different costume for each dance she performs. This implies that the number of costumes c is dependent on the number of dances d she plans to perform. If she performs more dances, she will need more costumes. Therefore, the number of dances is the independent variable, and the number of costumes is the dependent variable.
Conclusion: Based on the reasoning above, we can conclude that the correct choice is (B) d is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable.
