Answer: 1) B is correct, constant of variation is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
Direct variation states that a relationship between the two variables. we say y varies directly as x
i.e, or y =kx.................[1] ; where k is the constant of variation.
Given the equation:
Divide both sides by -4 we get;
Simplify:
.......[2]
On comparing equation [2] with [1] we get;
k = -2
As per the the question we need to calculate the value of first 4 multiplied by 10.
Now in the number 4,043, the first 4 is at the thousands place. So the place value of first 4 in the digit 4,043 is 4000.
Multiplying the value of first 4 by 10 we get:

Now, the second 4 in the digit 4,043 is at the tens place. So the place value of second 4 in the digit 4,043 is 40.
We can see that two of them are not equal and the value of first 4 times ten is far greater than the value of second 4.
It can be said that two of the 4s in the digit 4,043 are at two different places, first is at thousands place and second is at tens place. So if the numbers are two places apart their place value will have difference of 100 folds.
Answer:
20 = 6m or m = 20/6 = 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Samantha has s marbles and Paul has m marbles.
We know that s = 20 and that Samantha has 6 times as many marbles as Paul. This means s = 6m.
Substitute 20 in for s:
20 = 6m
m = 20/6
Thus, the equation is m = 20/6.
