Answer: No, the page content of the atlas cannot be replicated on the eReader.

Please check explanations below for solution to question (b)

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the eReader screen is given as 8 inches by 6 inches. In order to move a rectangular shape such as the atlas onto it would require the same measurements or, a measurement that has the same ratio as both the length and width of the screen, but a reduced size.

This brings us to similar shapes. When two shapes (rectangles in this case) are similar, it simply means there is a common ratio between the corresponding sides, that is the length and the width. If rectangle 1 has its side measuring 8 inches, then rectangle 2 would have the corresponding side having a common ratio with that of rectangle 1. This means the corresponding side in rectangle 2 can either be an enlargement (which would mean 8 times a scale of enlargement) or a reduction (which means 8 divided by a scale of reduction).

In the question given, the eReader screen has dimensions of 8 inches by 6 inches. The atlas has dimensions given as 19 inches by 12 inches. By observation we can see that the width of the atlas is times 2 of the screen. The length of the atlas however is not times 2 of the screen. That is;

Ratio = Rectangle 1 : Rectangle 2

Ratio of Width = 6 : 12

Ratio of Width = 1 : 2

Likewise

Ratio of Length = 8 : 19

Ratio of Length ≠ 1: 2

This proves that the atlas cannot be scaled down to fit properly into the screen. A solution to make this possible would be to resize the length of the atlas to become times 2 of the eReader screen. This would result in the atlas having new dimensions given as

Length = 16 inches

Width = 12 inches

This would ensure that both rectangular shapes are similar and the atlas can now be scaled down by a factor of 2 to fit in properly into the eReader screen.

There is 1/2 more pumpkin pie than apple pie left.

1/3 x 2 = 2/6

5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6

3/6 / 3 = 1/2

Call center A and B offers equal wages.

<h3>what is Equation?</h3>

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side. It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given:

The formula for wages = P/t

First, P= 15 dollars

           = 1500 cents

time= 1 hour= 60 minutes

then, the unit rate is

=1500/60

= 25 cents/ min

Second, P= 25 cents

       

time= 1 minutes

then, the unit rate is

=25/1

= 25 cents/ min

Hence, Call center A and B offers equal wages.

Pie

Answer:

v = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 18 = 5v + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

- 25 = 5v ( divide both sides by 5 )

- 5 = v
