Answer 1

The dependent is the average, 60 mph because it depends on Grandma's 325 miles from home; and the independent is 325 miles

Answer 2

Independent variable: Time,

Dependent variable: Distance

Explanation:

We have been given that Selena is driving to visit her grandmother who lives 325 miles away from Selena's home. She travels an average of 60 miles per hour.

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}* \text{Time}`

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

`325\text{ miles}=\frac{60\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}* \text{Time}`

We can see that time is an independent variable and distance is dependent variable.
