A variable is something that can vary or change A variable is something that can vary or change. What are the variables in this statement? The time it takes to run a 10 km race depends on the amount of training the runner does. Click to check your answers

The time it takes to run a 10 km race depends on the amount of training the runner does. The independent variable is the amount of exercise. The dependent variable is the time it takes to run a 10 km race. It is not enough to say just “time” or “training” – you must describe the I.V. and tell how the D.V. is measured.
