Identify the number of independent and subordinate clauses in the following group of words. jean prepared for rain by packing an umbrella, but the sun ended up coming out

There is one independent clause and one dependent clause in the following group of words:  Jean prepared for rain by packing an umbrella, but the sun ended up coming out.

Explanation:

Independente clauses are those clauses that include a subject, a predicate, and that express a complete thought, so they can stand alone. Jean prepared for rain by packing an umbrella is an independent clause.

Dependent clauses, on the other hand, are clauses that, although they contain a subject and a predicate, do not express a complete thought. Therefore, dependent clauses need to be linked to an independent one by using a marker or conjunction. In this case, the dependent clause is but the sun ended up coming out.
