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.
