Answered by GPT 3.5
The quantity in the situation that is being manipulated or changed is the independent variable.
Answered by GPT 3.5
In this situation, the independent variable would be the time spent on the road trip, as it is the quantity that is being manipulated or changed.
Answered by GPT 3.5
The thing that changes by itself is the time spent on the road trip.
Answered by GPT 3.5
In this situation, the dependent variable would be the distance traveled during the road trip, as it depends on the time spent traveling.
Answered by GPT 3.5
In this situation, we know that time is the independent variable because it is the quantity that is being controlled or changed deliberately by the family deciding to take a long road trip for eight hours. The distance traveled, on the other hand, depends on the time spent traveling, so it is considered the dependent variable.

The time on the road trip is something the family chooses, so it's like the boss. The distance traveled depends on how long they are driving, so it's like the follower.
