Answer:
Dependent variable m.
As given, Alvin runs 3 meters per second. So speed is 3m/s. This means 3 meters in 1 second.
The equation given for the same:
m=3s.
Let's put s=1.
➡️ m=3×1=3 . As seen in 1 second, meter covered is 3m.
In 2 second, meter covered will be m=3×2=6m
m is dependent variable because m depends on variable s. As seen by equation m=3s . Little Common sense is required to get it. Generally, Time cannot be depending on the meter covered. It has to be opposite.
