Dog a is given one cup of food. Dog b is given 1/2 cup of food . Dog. c is given two cups of food at the end of the year dog c weighs the most. What is the the independent and dependent variable

Dependent variable: Weight

Independent variable: Amount of food

Explanation:

In experiments such as the one described, there are two or more factors involved, which act as variables. Additionally, these factors can be classified as dependent or independent. The difference between these two is that the independent factor is changed on purpose by the researcher. This occurs with the amount of food as each dog receives a different amount of food and this is controlled by the researcher.

On the other hand, the dependent variable is the main factor analyzed in the experiment or the factor that is modified by the independent variable. In the experiment presented, the dependent variable is weight because in this experiment the focus is to analyze how weight changes with different amounts of food, and this factor is affected by the independent variable.
