Question

mr. fowler, the debate team coach, is organizing a debate tournament at his school. the number of volunteers he will need to judge at the tournament is determined by how many rounds will take place.

v = the number of volunteers needed for judging
r = the number of rounds in the tournament

which variable is the dependent variable?

v
r

Explanation:

A dependent variable is one that depends on another variable. Here, the number of volunteers \(v\) depends on the number of rounds \(r\). As the number of rounds changes, the number of volunteers needed for judging changes. So \(v\) is the dependent variable.

Answer:

\(v\)
