Answer 1

Answer:

the number of apples she ate

Explanation:

The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed intentionally in order to effect a measurable response in the dependent variable.

In this experiment involving the Shania, where she wanted to test the effect of eating apples on her classwork performance, the independent variable is the NUMBER OF APPLES SHE ATE because that is what changes everyday.
