Q. Shelby is selling lemonade. The amount of money she earns depends on how many cups of lemonade she sells.m= the amount of money Shelby earnsc= the number of cups of lemonade Shelby sellsWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)m is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable(B)c is the independent variable and m is the dependent variable
Understand relationship between variables: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the variables.In this scenario, Shelby's earnings m depend on how many cups of lemonade c she sells. This means the amount of money earned is a result of the number of cups sold.
Identify variables: Step 2: Identify the independent and dependent variables.Since the number of cups sold c can be chosen or controlled by Shelby, it is the independent variable. The money earned m changes based on how many cups are sold, making it the dependent variable.
Match correct choice: Step 3: Match the correct choice based on the analysis.From the choices given:(A) m is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable(B) c is the independent variable and m is the dependent variableChoice (B) correctly identifies c as the independent variable and m as the dependent variable.
