I’m pretty sure the answer is 9 to 1
Yes, they can Decimal places are the numbers after a decimal. So for instance: 3.28863, that would have more than one decimal place because .28863 is more than one decimal place.
Write an equation of the direct variation that includes the given point (-8, -4)
Direct variation is y= kx for some constant k
Find k using the point (-8,-4)
y=kx
(-4)=k(-8) substitution
-4/-8=k(-8/-8) division property
1/2=k
equation of direct variation is y=1/2k
Here is the graphical representation of the function you provide.
You can see the the points in which the line intersects each axis.
Every point in the line is a possible option for which hot dog package was bought.
For example, Taro might have bought 0 of the packages of 8, and 16 packages of 12.
or He might've bought zero packages of 12, and 24 packages of 8.
