Answer:
The statement that is true about the scenario is:
- The distance traveled depends on the amount of time Marlene rides her bike.
- The function f(t) = 16t represents the scenario.
Explanation:
The time that she rides is represented by 't'
and the distance she traveled is represented by 'd'
Now, it is given that:
Marlene rides her bike at a rate of 16 miles per hour.
This means that the distance she rides in ''t" hours is given by:

Since, speed is the ratio of distance over time and it is given that the speed is: 16 miles per hour.
i.e.

Hence, the distance depends upon time.
i.e. the independent variable is time and the dependent i.e. the output is distance traveled.
Also, the initial value is zero.
i.e. at t=0 we have: d=0
