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.\newlinecc = the number of Melissa's coworkers who attend the picnic\newlinevv = the number of veggie burgers Melissa prepares\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)vv is the independent variable and cc is the dependent variable\newline(B)cc is the independent variable and vv is the dependent variable
  1. Identify Independent Variable: Step 11: Determine the independent variable. The number of coworkers attending, cc, does not depend on how many veggie burgers are prepared. So, cc is the independent variable.
  2. Identify Dependent Variable: Step 22: Determine the dependent variable. The number of veggie burgers prepared, vv, depends on how many coworkers attend the picnic. Therefore, vv is the dependent variable.
  3. Select Correct Answer: Step 33: Select the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since cc is the independent variable and vv is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B).
