Answer:

The time t is the independent variable while the volume V is the dependent variable

Explanation:

A variable is a parameter that changes.

We have two types namely dependent and independent variables.

A dependent variable is a variable which its value needs to be determined based on the value of another variable while and independent variable is a variable which its value independent of other parameters.

In our question, It takes 1 hour (t) to fill the water tank of volume (V) 750 m3.

The volume of the tank V changes as time changes. So the volume of the tank V is dependent on time, t.

So V is proportional to t

Since the volume of the tank is the variable that needs to be determined based on another variable-which is time,t- it is the dependent variable, while the time,t is the independent variable since its value is not determined based on other parameters.
