Q. Vincent is making apple turnovers for his friends. The number of turnovers he can make is determined by how many apples he has at home.t= the number of turnovers Vincent can makea= the number of apples Vincent has at homeWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)a is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable(B)t is the independent variable and a is the dependent variable
Determine Relationship: Determine the relationship between the two variables. In this context, the number of turnovers Vincent can make t depends on the number of apples he has at home a. Therefore, the number of apples is the cause, and the number of turnovers is the effect.
Identify Independent Variable: Identify the independent variable. The independent variable is the one that can be changed freely, which in this case is the number of apples Vincent has a. This is because Vincent's ability to make turnovers does not affect the number of apples he has.
Identify Dependent Variable: Identify the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable, which in this case is the number of turnovers Vincent can make t. This is because the number of turnovers is directly affected by the number of apples available.
Choose Correct Answer: Choose the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since a is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (A) a is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
