Questions like this are often poorly worded and the answer is not clear. In my opinion this is one such question.

If he always works at 30newspapers per hour then the time taken will be dependant on the number of newspapers her has to deliver.
If he always has the same number of newspapers and his speed is about 30 newspapers in an hour then the time taken will be dependant on the speed.

I guess in both cases the time is the dependant variable. Maybe I have answered your question afterall.
