Q. Polly and Erin are going on vacation and are trying to figure out how much money they should bring with them. The longer the vacation, the more money they should bring.\newlinet=t = the length of Polly and Erin's vacation\newlinem=m = the amount of money Polly and Erin should bring\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) mm is the independent variable and tt is the dependent variable\newline(B) tt is the independent variable and mm is the dependent variable
  1. Identify relationship: Identify the relationship between the variables: The length of the vacation tt determines how much money mm Polly and Erin should bring. Therefore, tt is the variable that is set first, and mm depends on it.
  2. Determine variables: Determine which variable is independent and which is dependent: Since the amount of money to bring depends on the length of the vacation, tt is the independent variable and mm is the dependent variable.
