Let p represent the number of pounds of fertilizer.
Let g represent the area, in square feet, of garden she covers.

Which correctly names the independent and dependent variables?
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: brand of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of square feet of garden covered
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of people it takes to put down the fertilizer

Answer 1

A). Independent variable: number of square feet of the garden;

dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer.

Explanation:

• An independent variable is an amount whose value does not depend on any other amount. In contrast, the dependent variable is an amount whose value depends on one or more independent variables.
• If the amount of fertilizer added to a field is shown by the letter P and g denotes the area of the garden in square feet.
• Here the P(the number of square feet of the garden) would be the independent variable as it is the one that changes or is controlled to study its effects on the dependent variable while g(number of pounds of fertilizer) is the dependent variable as it is being examined and measured.
