Answer:

An independent variable is defines as the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment. A dependent variable is the variable being tested in a scientific experiment. The dependent variable is "dependent" on the independent variable.

An independent variable is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure

A dependant variable is the variable that depends on other factors that are measured
