Without any adventure stops in the zoo, visitors spend an average of 5 hours at the zoo. In a trial run of "Zoo Explorers" with 4 adventure stops, participants stayed for an average of 6 total hours.
In #2, what are the two variables? Which one is independent and which one is dependent?
The amount of hours that the zoo is open is the independent variable, and the number of adventure stops is the dependent variable.
The number of adventure stops is the independent variable, and the amount of time the visitors spend in the zoo is the dependent variable.
The number of adventure stops is the independent variable, and the amount of fun that the visitors have is the dependent variable.
The amount of money that visitors spend is the independent variable, and the amount of time the visitors spend in the zoo is the dependent variable.

The correct answer is:
The number of adventure stops is the independent variable, and the amount of time the visitors spend in the zoo is the dependent variable.
