Which variable is independent?Number of teammatesNumber of hot dogsNumber of total guests, including friends of teammates

Respuesta :

Number of teammates

Explanation

Step 1

set the equation:

a) let H represents the number of hot dogs

let G represents the number of guest

hence, as the number of hotdgos depends on the number of guests then the the independent variable is the nuber of guest

so

Independent variable: number of guests

b)The coach wants to have two hot dogs for each guest, and 8 extra hot dogs in case some teammates bring friends,so

[tex]\begin{gathered} hot\text{ dogs= 2 per guest + 8} \\ H=2G+8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

so, the equation is

[tex]H=2G+8[/tex]

and the independent variable is

Number of teammates
