Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: INDEPENDENT variable : h = the number of hamburgers ordered
DEPENDENT variable : b = the number of hamburger buns used Step-by-step explanation:Independent Variables: The type of variables whose change is NOT DEPENDENT on the change of other variables are known to be independent variable. Dependent Variables: The type of variables whose change is DEPENDENT on the change of other variables are known to be independent variable. Now here:h = the number of hamburgers ordered
b = the number of hamburger buns used
The number of buns used depend upon the number on the buns ordered.More buns Ordered ⇒ More buns Used⇒ Used buns is dependent upon the order.Hence, h = the number of hamburgers ordered is INDEPENDENT.b = the number of hamburger buns used is DEPENDENT variable.
