Malik and Mia both converted to a decimal. Malik says the answer is 0.45 and Mia says the answer is 0.45. Which
answer is correct? Explain why that is the correct answer, and
the other is incorrect.

0.45=0.45 so they are either both wrong or both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

both answers are probably correct

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
