Q. The members of a sewing circle are making quilts to donate to homeless shelters. The number of quilts they can produce is determined by how much fabric they have available.\newlineq=q = the number of quilts they can produce\newlinef=f = the amount of fabric they have available\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) ff is the independent variable and qq is the dependent variable\newline(B) qq is the independent variable and ff is the dependent variable
  1. Identify Variables: 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 one being tested and measured in an experiment. In this context, the amount of fabric available ff is what they have to work with, and the number of quilts they can produce qq depends on the amount of fabric. So, we need to determine which variable is controlled and which one is affected by the other.
  2. Determine Control: Since the amount of fabric available will determine how many quilts can be made, the fabric is the resource that is being used up as quilts are produced. Therefore, the fabric is the independent variable because it is what they start with and can control. The number of quilts is the dependent variable because it relies on how much fabric there is.
  3. Choose Correct Option: Now we can answer the question by choosing the correct option from the given choices. The correct choice should state that the fabric ff is the independent variable and the number of quilts qq is the dependent variable.
