Rectangles A and B are not similar, because 3/2.5 is 1.2, while 5/4.5 is about 1.1. This means that the two rectangles cannot be increased or decreased by any scale factors to equal each other. Rectangles A and C are not similar, because 3/10 is 0.3, while 5/18 is about 2.8. Rectangles B and C, however, are similar, because 2.5/10 is 0.25, and 4.5/18 is 0.25 as well. This means that Rectangle B can be increased using a scale factor of 4 to make it equal to Rectangle C.

Yes. All squares are similar because, by definition, all the sides of a square are the same. This means that there is only one value to consider when finding out whether or not another square is similar to it. All numbers are divisible by another number, even if the quotient is a decimal, meaning that all squares are similar.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Quan had 15 and Kaden had 3 times as much, then Kaden had 15(3) = 45. If he spent 10 then he had 35 left. The amount of money Quan had after his mom gave him some was 4/5 the amount of Kaden's 35 (let x = the amount of money Quan has after his mom gives him some):
35 divides by the 5 in the denominator 7 times, and 7 times 4 is 28. That's how you get your 28 in part a.
For part b., he started with 15 and ended with 28, so his mom gave him 28-15=13. That's how you get the 13.
