Which is the dependent and independent variable, plese i need exact answers?

the question is : which type of cup will keep a hot drink warmest in a time limit of fifteen minutes: plastic, styrofoam, or glass? i just need to know whats the independent and dependent variable.Which is the dependent and independent variable, plese i need exact answers?
The independent variable is what you control. The type of cup AND the time limit are the independent variables. The out come due to what you control is the dependent. So the temp is the dependent variable.



Hope this helped :)Which is the dependent and independent variable, plese i need exact answers?
First answer is wrong. The independent variables are the ones you are able to set (the cup type and the time). The dependent variables are outcomes of your experiment (temperature of the cup). If plotting on a graph, the independent variable (in your case cup type) would go on the x-axis and the dependent (outcome which "depends" on the independent variable, on the y-axis).



So to sum up:

Independent variables: Cup type, Time.

Dependent variables: Cup temperatureWhich is the dependent and independent variable, plese i need exact answers?
dependant: cups x axis of a graph

independant: temperature of liquid at 15 minutes y axis of a graph
