Question

The temperature is dropping at a rate of five degrees per hour.

Let d represent the number of degrees the temperature drops.
Let t represent the number of hours that pass.
Which is the dependent variable?
Othe number of hours
Othe number of degrees the temperature drops
O the rate at which the temperature drops
the day of the week

Answer 1

d=temp drop

t=hours

dependent variable is the temperature drops because the number of hours will tell you how much the temprature drops

this is the equation

total temp drops=t x 5

hope this helps!?

Answer 2

The rate at which the temperature drops.
