Question

The equation d=60t gives the distance d (in miles) a car travels after t hours. Identify the independent and dependent variables.

Answer 1

Independent variable: hours (t)

dependent variable:  distance (h)

Answer 2

The independent variable is t (hours) and the dependent variable is d (distance). The total distance (d) will depend on the number of hours (t). As the hours increase, the distance will increase. The distance depends on the amount of time traveling.

ANSWER: t (hours) is the independent variable and d (distance) is the dependent variable
