Let

, where

and let

be any real constant.
Given this definition of scalar multiplication, we can see right away that there is no identity element

such that

because
he divided each rectangle in 12 identical parts
for the first rectangle he shaded 1/3 of 12 = 4 parts
for the second rectangle he shaded 1/4 of 12= 3 parts
so 12= 3*4 leads to a minimum of 12 parts

Answer:
20 years
Step-by-step explanation:
9000/ 100= 900 = 10%
