Vijay is raking lawns to earn spending money. The amount of time it takes him to rake a particular lawn determines how much he charges for raking it.
t = the amount of time Vijay spends raking a lawn
f = the fee Vijay charges for raking a lawn
Which of the variables is independent and which is dependent?
f is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable
t is the independent variable and f is the dependent variable
The correct answer is: t is the independent variable and f is the dependent variable.
Explanation: The amount of time (t) that Vijay spends raking a lawn is something he can control or choose; therefore, it is the independent variable. The fee (f) he charges is based on how much time he spends raking, making it dependent on the time variable. So, as time increases, the fee also increases.
