Q. Myra is planning a birthday party and plans to serve cupcakes. The number of cupcakes she will prepare depends on the number of her friends who plan to attend the party.c = the number of cupcakes Myra will preparef = the number of Myra's friends who plan to attend the partyWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) f is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable(B) c is the independent variable and f is the dependent variable
Define Variables: In any function or relationship between two variables, the independent variable is the one that can be freely changed without being affected by the other variables in the equation. The dependent variable is the one that depends on the value of the independent variable.
Identify Relationship: In the context of the problem, Myra is planning to prepare cupcakes based on the number of friends who plan to attend the party. This means that the number of cupcakes c depends on the number of friends f attending.
Determine Independent and Dependent Variables: Since the number of cupcakes is determined by the number of friends, the number of friends is the independent variable, and the number of cupcakes is the dependent variable.
