Example: the amount of food is the independent variable because it has been changed and the growth of chickens is the dependent variable because the growth will be effected by the amount of food. Growth depends on the food
The independent variable.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.
The answer to your question depends on the experiment you are doing, but time would probably be the independent variable (and the amount of mold would be the dependent variable).

factor effecting on food spoilage
Changes in the independent variable are independent of changes in any other variable,
The independent variable.
the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
The independent variable for sugar could be the amount of sugar (in grams or teaspoons) added to a food or drink item. This variable is what the researcher manipulates or controls in an experiment to observe its effect on the outcome.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
