Cameron created a graph to show the amount of time, in minutes, he spends walking around the track and the number of laps around the track he completes. Identify the independent and dependent variables in this situation. Explain your reasoning.
Independent:
Dependent:
Independent variable: The amount of time spent walking around the track. This is the variable that Cameron can control and manipulate in order to see how it affects the number of laps he completes.
Dependent variable: The number of laps around the track he completes. This variable depends on the amount of time spent walking around the track, as the more time spent walking, the more laps he is able to complete.
