Identify the dependent and independent variable for the given relation.
Answer to Problem 48PPE
Independent variable is the number of students who attend the fiesta and dependent variable is amount of food at the fiesta.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The Spanish classes are having a lunch. Each student who attends brings a dish or dessert. More students, more food will be available.
Calculation:
It is given that the Spanish classes are having a lunch and the student has to bring a dish. This means that the number of students who attend the fiesta is independent quantity.
Everyone who attend the fiesta has to bring a dish, it means that the amount of food that there will be at the fiesta is dependent on the number of students. It will be dependent on person who will attend. If more students will come, there will be more food and vice versa.
Therefore, the amount food is dependent on students who will attend the lunch.
Thus, the independent variable is the number of students who attend the fiesta and dependent variable is amount of food at the fiesta.
