Q. Rachel is organizing a martial arts tournament and is ordering trophies for the winners. The number of trophies she orders is based on how many divisions there are in the tournament.t= the number of trophies Rachel ordersd= the number of divisions in the tournamentWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) t is the independent variable and d is the dependent variable(B) d is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable
Understand relationship between variables: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the variables.Rachel orders trophies based on the number of divisions. This means the number of trophies t depends on the number of divisions d. So, d is the independent variable because it determines the value of t, the dependent variable.
Choose correct option: Step 2: Choose the correct option based on the relationship identified.Since d is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B) d is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
