Question

You are going running. For every mile you run, you burn 100 calories. In the equation below, m represents the number of miles you run, and c represents the number of calories you burn. The relationship between these two variables can be expressed by the following equation: c=100m, equals, 100, m Identify the dependent and independent variables.

Answer 1

The number of miles you run is Independent and the calories you burn is Dependent

Answer 2

C is the dependent variable

m is the independent variable

Explanation:

For every mile you run, you burn 100 calories. In the equation below, m represents the number of miles you run, and c represents the number of calories you burn

C= 100m

Number of calories burn depends on the number of miles you run

So calories C depends on the miles 'm'

C is the dependent variable because it depends on the value of 'm'

m is the independent variable
