Elian is testing his hypothesis that the more ripe an orange is, the more Vitamin C it contains. He takes four oranges of varying degrees of ripeness and squeezes samples of juice from each one. He then measures the concentration of Vitamin C in each sample of orange juice. He systematically adds a measured amount of a chemical called a titrant into the orange juice, waiting for its color to change. When its color changes, he knows that the amount of Vitamin C present in the juice is equal to the amount of the titrant he has added, which he can calculate. What does Elian think is the independent variable in this experiment?

• orange ripeness

• amount of titrant

• color of the solution

• amount of Vitamin C per orange

Kyle wanted to see which gum had the most sugar. He chose four different brands of gum. He weighed each piece. Then he chewed each piece for 10 minutes. After that, he let the gum dry and weighed it again. He recorded his data in the table below. What is the independent variable in Kyle's experiment?

• the weight of the final dried gum

• the time chewed

• the change in weight of the gum

• the brand of gum
