2 answers:

6 0

The Yellow Journalism affected the American attitude about Cuba and Spanish-American war by swaying the public opinion to be in support of the war.

Yellow Journalism used sensationalized stories to capture the hearts of its readers. The newspaper owner Randolph Hearst published a story that blamed the Spanish in the tragedy of the sunk USS Maine even without a concrete evidence that the Spanish were involved. The public opinion were greatly affected because of this. Many were in favor of the war because of this and other published images the Spanish as inhumans. The US entered the conflict between Spain and Cuba because of the public opinion that are in favor of war.

The Northwest Ordinance of ___ called for a public education system.

podryga [215]

The Northwest ordinance of 1787 called for the public education system by the land ordinance policy of 1785.

<u>Explanation:</u>

During colonization, the schools were left to individuals separately. So to make the education mandatory, the schools were made to function efficiently but on the southern colonies this was not insisted that much compulsorily.
So due to the ruralness there they conduct it as apprenticeships.
This abolished section 16 which is preexisting and established section 29 in which the public schools were organized to educate the best minds.
later the northwest ordinance came which made the public education system mandatory in all regions by providing land in great lakes and ohio valley.

A carpenter purchased 70 ft of redwood and 80 ft of pine for a total cost of $351. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ

notsponge [240]

Hey there!!

Let us take the cost of 1 feet redwood as ' x '

Let us take the cost of 1 feet pine as ' y '

For the first scenario :

70 ft red wood and 80 ft pine

1 feet redwood - $x

70 feet redwood - $70x

1 feet pine - $y

80 feet pine - $80y

Total = $351

70x + 80y = 351 --------------------------------- ( 1 )

Second scenario :

1 feet redwood - $x

100 feet redwood - $100x

1 feet pine - $y

60 feet pine - $60y

total - $420

100x + 60y = 420 ----------------------- ( 2 )

Now let us get both the equations together :

70x + 80y = 351 ------------- ( 1 )

100x + 60y = 420 ------------- ( 2 )

Now let us multiply the the 1st equation with 3 and the 2nd equation with 4

3 ( 70x + 80y ) = 3 ( 351 )

4 ( 100x + 60y ) = 4 ( 420 )

............................

210x + 240y = 1053

400x + 240y = 1680

...........................

Now let us subtract the first equation from the second ...

400x + 240y = 1680

- ( 210x + 240y ) = - ( 1053 )

......................

190x = 627

dividing by 160 on both sides

x = 627 / 190

x = 3.3

The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the redwood is $3.3

Now substitute the value of x in any given given equation and find out y

I will substitute in the 1st equation

70x + 80y = 351

70 ( 3.3 ) + 80y = 351

231 + 80y = 351

Subtracting by 231 on both sides

80y = 351 - 231

80y = 120

dividing by 80 on both sides

y = 120 / 80

y = 1.5

The cost for 1 feet or per foot for the pine = $1.5

The answers - $3.3 ( redwood ) ; $1.5 ( pine )

Hope my answer helps!

look at the picture below. what evidence supports the conclusion that this photograph was likely taken in the early 20th century

Most working class women in Victorian England had no choice but to work in order to help support their families. They worked either in factories, or in domestic service for richer households or in family businesses. Many women also carried out home-based work such as finishing garments and shoes for factories, laundry, or preparation of snacks to sell in the market or streets. This was in addition to their unpaid work at home which included cooking, cleaning, child care and often keeping small animals and growing vegetables and fruit to help feed their families.

However, women’s work has not always been accurately recorded within sources that historians rely on, due to much of women's work being irregular, home-based or within a family-run business. Women's work was often not included within statistics on waged work in official records, altering our perspective on the work women undertook. Often women’s wages were thought of as secondary earnings and less important than men’s wages even though they were crucial to the family’s survival. This is why the census returns from the early years of the 19th century often show a blank space under the occupation column against women’s names – even though we now have evidence from a variety of sources from the 1850s onwards that women engaged in a wide variety of waged work in the UK.

Women’s occupations during the second half of the 19th and early 20th century included work in textiles and clothing factories and workshops as well as in coal and tin mines, working in commerce, and on farms. According to the 1911 census, domestic service was the largest employer of women and girls, with 28% of all employed women (1.35 million women) in England and Wales engaged in domestic service. Many women were employed in small industries like shirt making, nail making, chain making and shoe stitching. These were known as 'sweated industries' because the working hours were long and pay was very low . Factories organised work along the lines of gender – with men performing the supervisory roles and work which was categorized as ‘skilled’.
