Independent variable: variable that does not depend on another. Independent variables also influence dependent ones.
For example, practicing more basketball would improve ability to get more free throws (free throw depends on practicing) - free throw is dependent variable. The type of basketball is irrelevant; you can cancel that out, has nothing to do with context.

Solution: 1. Time practicing

Answer:

1. Time practicing

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable is the variable with only 1 change. You are only changing the time for practice.
