Answer:it can very

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on which definition of 'whole numbers' you use.

Some definitions say the whole numbers are the set of positive integers including zero; or the set of all non-negative integers. In this case, the answer would be 'false', since the set of integers includes negatives.

However, if you are using a definition of whole numbers which includes positive integers, including zero, and their negatives, the answer would be 'true'. Figure out how the term 'whole numbers' is being defined, then you can get your answer.

Two rectangles are similar. The length and width of the first rectangle are 12

Masja [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.

scale factor = $\frac{14.4}{12}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$ = 1.2
