Which two quantities in this shop are related, so that one depends on the other — and which quantity does NOT depend on the number of pizzas at all?¿Qué dos cantidades de esta pizzería están relacionadas, de modo que una depende de la otra — y qué cantidad no depende para nada del número de pizzas?
Say your answer to a partner first. Then write it, using at least two of these words:
Model: Akela chose where to place each tray, which set the hours of sunlight; the plant height was measured afterward, in response to the sunlight. — A strong answer names sunlight as chosen (independent) and height as responding (dependent), and can say the sentence 'height depends on sunlight.' A weak answer just says 'height is bigger' without naming which quantity was chosen.
