Question

To convert a distance between miles and feet, you can use the equation f=5280m

, where f represents the number of feet and m represents the number of miles. In this equation, which describes the role of f ?

A.

the dependent variable
B.

the independent variable
C.

the dependent quantity
D.

the independent quantity

Answer 1

A. the dependent variable

Explanation:

The given equation is

`f = 5280m`

This equation is used to convert a distance between miles and feet,where f represents the number of feet and m represents the number of miles.

The value of f depends on the value of m.

This means that, to find f, we need to first know m.

Therefore f is called the dependent variable.
