A system implements a paged virtual address space for each process using a one-level page table. The maximum size of virtual address space is 16MB. The page table for the running process includes the following valid entries (the --> notation indicates that a virtual page maps to the given page frame, that is, it is located in that frame):
Virtual page 2 --> Page frame 4
Virtual page 4 --> Page frame 9
