yes you can

Answer 5

nothing

Answer 6

Okay! So the independent variable is something that chugs along without caring about what's happening around it. For example, time is a common independent variable. Nothing changes time, right? But the dependent variable, like its name suggests, changes depending on what the independent variable is. For example, the amount of time you run DEPENDS on the energy level you have. The energy level isn't going to change, but the amount of time you run certainly will. Do you understand that?

Answer 7

@rosa12, do you follow?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Great. So what do you think about the problem?

Answer 10

Okay. The answer is that the number of defective loaves is the dependent, because the number of defective loaves depends on the number of loaves baked altogether.
