Q. Shawna, a florist, is assembling bouquets of roses to sell at her flower shop. The number of bouquets she can assemble depends on how many roses are in her shop.b = the number of bouquets Shawna can assembler = the number of roses in the flower shopWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) b is the independent variable and r is the dependent variable(B) r is the independent variable and b is the dependent variable
Define Variables: In this context, we need to determine which variable influences the other. The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and it is 'dependent' on the independent variable.
Identify Independent and Dependent Variables: Since Shawna is assembling bouquets based on the number of roses available, the number of roses she has r will determine how many bouquets b she can make. Therefore, the number of roses is the independent variable because it can vary independently of the number of bouquets made. The number of bouquets is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of roses available.
Conclusion: Based on the explanation above, we can conclude that the correct choice is (B) r is the independent variable and b is the dependent variable.
