1. Understand the relationship between the variables:

The number of pages () in a book depends on the number of chapters (). That is, the number of pages is a result of how many chapters the book has.

If we change the number of chapters, the number of pages will likely change as well. For example, if we add more chapters to a book, the number of pages usually increases.

2. Recall the definitions of independent and dependent variables:

The independent variable is the variable that we can change or control. It is the variable that we manipulate to see its effect on another variable.

The dependent variable is the variable that changes in response to the changes in the independent variable. It is the variable that we measure or observe as a result of the changes in the independent variable.

3. Determine the independent and dependent variables:

In this case, we can control or change the number of chapters (). So, the number of chapters (
