student wanted to test how the mass of a paper airplane affects the distance the paper airplane will fly. Paper clips were added before each test flight. As each paper clip was added, the plane was tested to determine how far it would fly. What is the dependent variable?

really? They told you that the plane was tested to determine how far it would fly

so the dependent variable will be the distance flown, depending on the weight of clips.
