Question

A car moves at 45 miles per hour. The time and the distance it travels are recorded.
What is the dependent variable?
A.the car
B.the time
C.the distance
D.45

Answer 1

C the distance.. distance traveled depends on the amount of time..

Example Miles/hr as a rate

Answer 2

I would say the distance. The dependent variable is basically what's being affected by the independent and would easily have a different result if faster or slower.
the speed of the car, the distance, and the car itself is not dependent on anything. the time, however, is dependent on the speed.
