Q. Nathan is planning a scavenger hunt for his friends. The number of friends taking part determines how many teams there will be.f= the number of friendst= the number of teamsWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable(B) t is the independent variable and f is the dependent variable
Determine Independent Variable: Step 1: Determine the independent variable. The number of friends f participating in the scavenger hunt is a choice Nathan makes and does not depend on the number of teams. So, f is the independent variable.
Determine Dependent Variable: Step 2: Determine the dependent variable. The number of teams t is based on how many friends are participating. If more friends join, Nathan might decide to form more teams. Therefore, t is dependent on f.
Select Correct Answer: Step 3: Select the correct answer choice. Since f is independent and t is dependent, the correct choice is (A) f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
