Tiya earns $7 an hour mowing her neighbor's lawn. Create two variables and determine which is dependent and which is independent for this situation.

Lets t be the time, and w the weather.

The t, is dependent of the situation because as the time t, increases, also the earnings increase ($7 an hour)

The w, is independent of the situation because nothing is said about it, nothing like, she doesn't work if its cloudy, or gains more money if it is hot.
