Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Maggie is monitoring the number of fish in a fish breeding center. The table below shows the number of fish over time.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline Number of Months & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
\hline Number of Fish & 1,024 & 1,280 & 1,600 & 2,000 & 2,500 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

The independent variable in the relationship is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex]. The dependent variable in the relationship is the [tex]$\square$[/tex] and should be placed on the [tex]$\square$[/tex].

To solve this problem, we need to identify the independent and dependent variables in the relationship provided between the number of months and the number of fish in the fish breeding center.

1. Independent Variable:
- The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a study to see how it affects the dependent variable.
- In this context, the variable that is being monitored or tracked over time is the "Number of Months".

2. Dependent Variable:
- The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and it is 'dependent' on the independent variable.
- Here, the "Number of Fish" is what’s being measured over the months, so it's the dependent variable.

3. Placement on the Axes:
- The independent variable is typically placed on the x-axis (horizontal axis).
- The dependent variable is typically placed on the y-axis (vertical axis).

So, the answers to fill in the dropdown menus should be:

- The independent variable in the relationship is the number of months and should be placed on the x-axis.
- The dependent variable in the relationship is the number of fish and should be placed on the y-axis.
