Q. Melissa is planning a picnic for her coworkers and plans to serve veggie burgers. The more of her coworkers who attend the picnic, the more veggie burgers she will prepare.c = the number of Melissa's coworkers who attend the picnicv = the number of veggie burgers Melissa preparesWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)v is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable(B)c is the independent variable and v is the dependent variable
Identify Independent Variable: Step 1: Determine the independent variable. The number of coworkers attending, c, does not depend on how many veggie burgers are prepared. So, c is the independent variable.
Identify Dependent Variable: Step 2: Determine the dependent variable. The number of veggie burgers prepared, v, depends on how many coworkers attend the picnic. Therefore, v is the dependent variable.
Select Correct Answer: Step 3: Select the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since c is the independent variable and v is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B).
