Jillian walked 0.5 miles before she started jogging at an average pace of 5 miles per hour. The equation d = 0.5 + 5t can be used to relate the total distance, d, in miles to the time, t, that Jillian spent jogging. What are the independent and dependent variables?

Distance is dependent and Time is independent
This is how I think of it. The distance she goes DEPENDS on the time she spent running
