The correct answer is "Archimedes."

In 275 BC the man who was called to investigate the possible forgery of the king of Syracuse’s gold crown was Archimedes.

Archimedes knew that gold was denser than silver. That being the case, a piece of gold should be smaller than a piece of silver of the same weigh. So Archimedes compared the volume of the crown to the volume of the amount of gold that Hiero had given the goldsmith. That is when Archimedes used the bucket with water to introduce the crown and see how much water was displaced.

What generalization can you make about numbers and causes of settlers death in 1609?
serg [7]

When English settlers came to Jamestown, the living conditions were very poor.  By the time 1609 had come around, they had faced a harsh winter called "the starving time".  

Because the winter was so harsh, people were getting sick and dying off at a very fast rate.  Only about 1/3 of the settlers survived that winter, and it was rumored that the starving time was so bad that the settlers turned to eating some of the animals, such as the dogs to stay alive.  

Because the people were eventually reinforced with supplies and more settlers, the colony of Jamestown was able to persevere and keep going considering they lost a significant amount of their original settlers.  The tobacco crop and more settlers coming on ships in the next few years is what was able to keep Jamestown thriving.  

This helped make it the first permanent settlement in North America, unlike the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Virginia, where all the settlers had vanished in the late 1500s.

Which of the following shows 144 divided by the difference of the expression 70-34?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

C. 144 ÷ (70-34)

Explanation:

This answer shows the division sign <em>after </em>144. When the division sign is after a number, that means that the context <em>behind</em> the division sign, which in this case is (70-34), then that means you are <em>dividing by</em> that number (a.k.a. 144).

Also, the difference means the answer when you subtract one number from another number. 70-34 = 36 (a.k.a. the difference.)

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 144 ÷ (70-34).

I hope this helps! :D
